   Twenty-one people are shot to death at McDonald’s   
      
   James Oliver Huberty opens fire in a crowded McDonald’s   
   restaurant in San Ysidro, California, killing 21 people and   
   wounding 19 others with several automatic weapons. Minutes   
   earlier, Huberty had left home, telling his wife, “I’m going   
   hunting… hunting for humans.”   
      
   Huberty, who had a history of mental problems, lost his job in   
   Ohio the previous year. He brought his family to San Diego and   
   worked as a security guard until he was fired again, a month   
   before the shootings. His wife claimed that Huberty called a   
   mental health clinic to make an appointment for counseling but   
   was never called back. Huberty had a love affair with guns,   
   keeping a small arsenal in his bedroom. Neighbors described him   
   as very angry.   
      
   Bringing several of these guns, including a 9mm automatic pistol   
   and semiautomatic rifle, into the McDonald’s two miles from the   
   Mexican border, Huberty demanded that the 45 patrons get on the   
   floor. He then walked around the restaurant, calmly shooting   
   people. He killed 20 in the first ten minutes, including four   
   who tried to escape. There were so many shots fired that the   
   police first assumed that there was more than one gunman inside.   
   Firing at a fire truck that responded to the scene, Huberty also   
   grazed one firefighter with a bullet.   
      
   An hour after the shooting began, an employee managed to escape   
   through the basement and inform the SWAT team that Huberty was   
   alone and without hostages. With this information, sharpshooters   
   were told to “take him out.” A marksman sent a shot through   
   Huberty’s chest and killed him. After making sure that he was   
   dead, police finally entered the restaurant. San Diego Police   
   Chief William Kolender said, “I hope to God I never see such a   
   thing again.”
