WATCH: Powerful Testimony of Luby’s Shooting Survivor Is Just as Relevant Today as It Was Decades Ago

On October 16, 1991, a man drove his truck into a Luby’s Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas. After crashing into the building, he opened fire on the restaurant patrons with a Ruger P89 and a Glock 17 — both handguns.

The shooter killed 23 people that day before taking his own life. Until 2007, the Luby’s Cafeteria attack stood as the deadliest mass-shooting in United States history.

And I was taught how to use it. A couple of years ago, my parents and I went to a cafeteria in Texas on a bright, sunny day. We weren’t in a dark alley where we weren’t supposed to be, and as you all know the story, this madman drove his truck through the window, and he began shooting.

Well immediately, my father and I got down on the floor and put the table up in front of us. And this guy kept shooting. And you’re thinking, you know, what could it be? Is it a robbery? That’s the first thing that generally comes to mind. And he keeps shooting. It took me a good 45 seconds to realize that this man wasn’t there to commit a robbery; he wasn’t there for a hit; he was there to simply shoot as many people as he possibly could.
