The only shooting rampage that happened in a Luby's in Texas is described here:

On October 16, 1991, George Hennard drove his pickup through the front window of a Luby's in Killeen, Texas, and killed 24 people. No other person inside the restaurant was armed. Hennard calmly walked through the restaurant, shooting innocent people.

Police responded and surrounded the building. After being wounded by a Texas state trooper who ran into the building and shot him, Hennard ran into a restroom and shot himself, and died at the scene.

In 1991, Texas prohibited concealed carry. One person in that restaurant, Suzanna Gratia-Hupp DC, normally carried a handgun in her purse (as many women do, regardless of the legality.) On that day, Dr. Gratia-Hupp decided to leave her .38 out in the car, and was unarmed.

Hennard shot and killed her father as he ran toward the gunman (trying to protect his family and other innocent people.) As Dr.
Gratia-Hupp watched, Hennard then shot her mother in the head. Mrs. Gratia looked up at her killer, then bowed her head before he shot her.

Dr. Gratia-Hupp's story is here: http://www.gunownersalliance.com/hupp-10.htm

If Suzanna Gratia-Hupp had been carrying her handgun, she may have saved the lives of her parents, and of other innocent people.
