1984: San Ysidro McDonald's Massacre

Quote Of The Day
What would  you say to all the victims if you had them all together in a room right now?
(Charlie Minn)
I would just tell them, give your troubles to God. He will help you and you’ll get through it. He will never give you more than you can take?
(Wendy Flannagan, San Ysidro McDonalds Massacre victim)


In 1984, a shooter entered a McDonald's restaurant in San Ysidro and killed 21 mostly Latino customers. There were serious concerns about why it took the police 77 minutes between the first shooting and the time that the police killed the shooter.


In 2022, a shooter entered the Rob Elementary School in Uvalde and killed 21 mostly Latino students and staff. A report released today raises serious concerns about why it took 77 minutes between the first shooting and the time that the police killed the shooter.
