On August 6, 1993, Ethel Parrous, 65, was killed in a mass shooting at Luigi’s Italian Restaurant in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The gunman, 22-year-old Kenneth Junior French, a soldier stationed at Fort Bragg, entered the restaurant armed with two shotguns and a rifle and began shouting about President Clinton’s policy allowing homosexuals to serve in the military before firing into the dining room.

Ethel Parrous was killed alongside her husband, Pete Parrous, 73, and two other patrons, Wesley Scot Cover, 26, and James F. Kidd, 46. Seven other people were wounded, including the shooter, who was shot and wounded by an off-duty police officer, Lt. Bill Simons. French was later convicted of four counts of capital murder and eight counts of assault and received four consecutive life sentences plus additional years for the assaults. The Parrous family had operated Luigi’s Restaurant for many years and were well known in the community.
