Paulina Aquino Lopez, 21, was one of the 21 people killed on July 18, 1984, during the mass shooting at the McDonald’s in San Ysidro, California. She worked at the restaurant and had been employed there for five months. A native of Tijuana, Paulina had moved to the United States four years earlier and was studying business and English at Southwestern College in Chula Vista.

The attack began about 3:40 PM when 41-year-old James Huberty entered the restaurant and fired with multiple firearms; it continued for 77 minutes before a SWAT sniper killed Huberty. The shooting wounded 19 others and left victims ranging from 8 months to 74 years old. The massacre prompted lawsuits by victims’ families against McDonald’s and the San Diego Police Department alleging negligence and has been widely remembered in the community.

Did anyone who knew Paulina, worked with her, or was at the McDonald’s that day come forward with memories or details to share?
