The San Ysidro McDonald's Massacre

On a warm afternoon in the summer of 1984, James Huberty, a disturbed man with a gun decided to go hunting humans. He ended up in a popular neighborhood McDonald's, where he shot to death 21 people-- including a truck driver nearing retirement, two young boys taking a break from a bike ride and and a teenage mother with her infant in her arms.

Panicked people inside the restaurant play dead and hide in closets, praying the police will mount a rescue before the gunman discovers them. But the SWAT team is stuck in traffic-- will more people die before help finally arrives?
