“I was coming back from lunch, and I walked up through the hotel there and heard (someone) say something was going on outside,” said Morris, who retired as a detective for the Killeen Police Department and now lives now in Florence, 20 miles south of Killeen. “I went outside and talked to some lady. I asked her, ‘What’s going on?’

I was friends with a former KPD detective that responded to Luby's. He told me an older gentlemen died in his arms before medical could there. He was never the same after that.
ReplyDeleteThe cop ends his tale with this comment about gun control, " But maybe if more people had a gun there at Luby’s, somebody could have stopped it.”
ReplyDeleteThere was a woman who met her parents there that always carried but there was some law that didn't allow her to bring her weapon into the cafe. I believe both her parents died and she testified a number of times to Congress about that. Very poignant.
In the end, 23 people were killed and another 27 wounded. At that time, the Luby’s shootings represented the worst mass murder in U.S. history.
ReplyDeleteI think Fauci has taken the lead on the worst mass murderer in US. And still going.
One woman that was there that day saw her mother and father shot and felt helpless because, following the law, she had left her gun in her car. She ran for the office of state representative and made it a priority to get concealed carry passed in the state of Texas.
ReplyDeleteThat was Suzanna Hupp, who ran & was elected to the Texas State House of Representatives.
DeleteShe was instrumental in establishing concealed carry in TX.
Indeed. Shows what one person can do if they are committed to the cause.
