Lula Belle Nolte Welsh was a 64-year-old woman from Waco, Texas, who was killed on October 16, 1991, in Killeen, Texas. She was among 23 people killed when George Jo Hennard drove a pickup truck through the front window of a Luby’s Cafeteria and opened fire on patrons and staff. The attack also injured 27 others; Hennard was wounded by police and died at the scene.

Reports cited misogyny and feelings of isolation and rejection as the apparent motives for the shooter’s rampage. The massacre prompted major public discussion about gun laws, mental health, and public-safety measures, and later contributed to changes in Texas law.

If anyone knew Lula Belle Nolte Welsh or was in the Killeen Luby’s that day and can share memories or information, please come forward.
