Elsa Herlinda Borboa-Firro was 19 and worked at the McDonald’s in San Ysidro, California, when she was killed on July 18, 1984, during the mass shooting that left 21 people dead and 19 wounded. Born December 8, 1964, in Mexico, she had moved to the United States and was among the employees and customers targeted when a gunman opened fire inside the restaurant.

The attacker, identified as 41-year-old James Huberty, arrived armed with multiple firearms and, after telling his wife he was going hunting humans, began shooting. The assault continued for 77 minutes until a SWAT team sniper fatally shot Huberty. Families of victims, including Elsa’s, pursued legal actions against McDonald’s alleging inadequate security, and the massacre prompted public discussion about gun laws and mental health.

Does anyone who knew Elsa or was in San Ysidro that day have memories or information to share about her or the restaurant that could add to the record?
