On June 17, 1978, a mass shooting at Lee’s Cathay Terrace, a Chinese restaurant on Post Road in Warwick, Rhode Island, left five people dead. The shooter, 48-year-old cook Gan Fong Chin, brought a rifle concealed in a gift-wrapped box, entered the restaurant and opened fire. Among those killed was 48-year-old co-worker Danny Linn.

Other victims named in reports were co-owner Robert Lee, 51; maître d’ John O’Dell, 40; pregnant cashier Dorothy Johnston, 38; and patron Cecila G. Bagity, 66, who suffered a fatal heart attack during the attack. Chin was arrested at the scene and arraigned on five murder charges; investigators reported he suffered from mental illness and believed coworkers had been poisoning his food since January of that year.

What details about Danny Linn’s life or routine that evening might help explain why he was at the restaurant that night or who he was to his community?
