In the wake of July 1984 shootings, James Huberty walked inside a McDonalds fast-food restaurant located in San Ysidro, California and started his murderous rampage killing 21 and wounded 19 people.
Huberty, dressed in a black T-shirt and jungle fatigues burst inside the McDonalds with a handgun, semi-automatic rifle plus a shotgun and started methodically firing employees, passersby and diners. He went on his murderous rampage for 77 minutes before being killed by a police sharpshooter nearby a rooftop.
Whatsoever reasons agitating Huberty, it seems for years his turbulent and troubled mental state of mind has boiled over late summer afternoon 25 years ago this month.
There were no motives being determined by the authorities in the incident. However, former neighbors of Huberty were quoted saying that he was a hot-tempered, mean-spirited angry guy who thought that everybody was picking on him. His wife, Etna describe him as a lonely, nervous, unhappy man and she didn't believe his parting words when he was telling her that he was out to hunt humans. She figured that her husband was just saying wild things and didn't take his words seriously.
The nation was left in shocked with a question in their mind that remained unanswered, what in a human mind that can trigger a man to do this kind of horrific action?

Oh what a sad story sis..he killed that many people and until now the reason behind his rampage is still unknown..it was a great lost..many people died without a cause..
I wonder what indeed could trigger a man to go into a killing frenzy like James Huberty did. I can't imagine what would be a good enough reason to go out and kill innocent people and hurt so many more others.
