The McDonald's Massacre

The McDonald's massacre was an incident of mass murder which resulted in 21 deaths and 19 injuries at a McDonald's restaurant in the San Ysidro section of San Diego, California, on July 18, 1984. The massacre was carried out by James Oliver Huberty, a 41-year-old former Union Metal Inc. welder from Canton, Ohio. In January 1984, Huberty had moved to San Ysidro with his wife and children, where he worked as a security guard until his dismissal one week prior to the murders. His apartment was located near the site of the shooting spree.

Huberty used a 9mm Uzi semi-automatic (the primary weapon fired in the massacre), a Winchester pump-action twelve-gauge shotgun, and a 9mm Browning HP in the restaurant, killing 21 people and wounding 19 others. Huberty's victims were predominantly Mexican and Mexican-American and ranged in age from 8 months to 74 years. The massacre began at 4 p.m. and lasted for 77 minutes. Huberty had spent 257 rounds of ammunition before he was fatally shot by a SWAT team sniper perched on the roof of a nearby post office.

Although Huberty stated during the massacre that he had killed thousands in Vietnam, he had never actually served in any military branch.

NOT the worst one day massacre in the history of the US, not by a long shot. There have been many many others which claimed more victims. In fact, too numerous to count.

One example: In Bath Township, Michigan in 1927, Andrew Kehoe murdered 38 school children, 4 adults and blew himself to smithereens. Violent acts like these are very common worldwide and have been going on since the beginning of time.

War, starvation, ethnic cleansing, genocide, crusades & inquisitions have killed BILLIONS.

@t4705mb6, good point. The reason this tragedy has a higher profile than others in history is the presence of video cameras. Just like Hurricane Katrina. There are a lot of people who believe Katrina was the worst Hurricane in American history, when the reality is more Americans were killed in the Galveston hurricane of 1900. Around 1800 were killed by Katrina. Upwards of 6000 were killed in Galveston. What's the difference? Video.

I remember that day, the next day the papers had the pic of two boys who'd gone to that resturant and were killed out in the parking lot. One of the rare times I saw my Mother cry.
