Ida Jean Dollard, 26, was one of two people killed in a mass shooting that shattered the Battle of Flowers Parade in San Antonio on April 27, 1979. The attack unfolded when 64-year-old Ira Attebury fired from a parked motor home at the intersection of Broadway and East Grayson Street as crowds gathered for the parade.

Reports say Attebury, a World War II veteran with a history of mental health treatment and PCP addiction, had loaded the vehicle with weapons and ammunition and later began shooting into the spectators. More than 50 people were wounded, including about a dozen children, before Attebury was subdued by responding authorities.

The case drew attention to Attebury’s troubled past and apparent motive of being disturbed by the parade’s merriment. Ida Dollard’s death left a lasting mark on the community. If anyone witnessed the shooting or knew Ida Dollard, does any additional detail about her that could help remember her life and legacy remain to be shared?
