What is it with Kileen Texas, and murderous rampages?
On October 16, 1991, Hennard drove his 1987 Ford Ranger pickup truck through the front window of a Luby's Cafeteria at 1705 East Central Texas Expressway in Killeen, yelled "This is what Belton did to me!", then opened fire on the restaurant's patrons and staff with a Glock 17 pistol and later a Ruger P89. He stalked, shot, and killed 23 people and wounded another 20 before committing suicide. About 80 people were in the restaurant at the time.

1. I grew up in Temple, just 20 minutes away.
Killeen is a shit hole. Temple was only marginally better.

3. Have a look on the satellite view at Google maps
It does not look like a very nice place.
