July 22, 1979 - Eduardo Sencion

Sencion carried out one of the more unusual mass shootings in recent American history, targeting a civilian restaurant in a deliberate attack that left three National Guard members among the dead. The incident drew attention both for the military casualties and for the apparent randomness of the setting, a midday diner in a mid-sized Nevada city.
