Opposition to President Bill Clinton lifting the ban on homosexuals to serve in the military
On August 6, 1993, 22-year-old Fort Bragg soldier Kenneth Junior French, armed with two shotguns and a rifle, opened fire inside a Luigi's restaurant in Fayetteville, North Carolina, killing four people and injuring seven others. The case was featured in the 1997 documentary film Licensed to Kill.[1][2]
Shooting
At around 10 p.m., French drove to the restaurant in a black truck. Wearing shorts and a fishing vest, French exited the truck carrying a pump-actionshotgun. French then entered the restaurant through the kitchen at the back of the building and then began to yell about politics and homosexuality before opening fire indiscriminately, raising the death toll to four and the injured to seven. He was then shot and wounded by a police officer who was not on duty at the time of the shooting.[3][4][5]
