The army base shooting that killed 7 people in Fort Hood, Texas, today brings the memories of the Luby's massacre that took place in Killeen, Texas, a town next Fort Hood, on October 16, 1991.
Gunman George Hennard drove his truck into Luby's Cafeteria, and than shot and killed 23 people. Hennard committed suicide after the shootings.
The incident remained the deadliest random shooting incident in American history until the Virginia Tech Massacre that claimed the lives of 32 people.
For more than 15 years, the city next to the sprawling Fort Hood military base had the dubious distinction of being the site of the deadliest mass shooting in the United States -- until a student killed 32 people and himself at Virginia Tech in 2007.
