It was just another Thursday night for these people. Just another 7pm showing for the employees. A new movie, probably some over-priced concession stand food, and the excitement and anticipation of the motion picture about to play in front of them. There was no preparing for the events to unfold just moments after.

John Houser began shooting, and fired 20 shots. Those 20 shots hit 11 people, but some endured shots more than once. One victim was shot four different times. Nine of those victims were wounded, while two women were killed.

Maci Breaux

A 21-year-old college student at LSU – Eunice. She had plans to be a radiology technician. She had love and family. Her boyfriend was also wounded that night.

Both of these women had people and love surrounding them and they were taken too suddenly. Their social medias were flooded. The grief surrounding them and their families is still very dark and suffocating.

John Houser is just another name added to the growing list of men who have destroyed lives by going into public places and taking the lives of innocent people who were far from being done living them yet.

R.I.P. Maci and Jillian. May your presence still be present for your families, and may they find some sort of peace in light of this tragedy.
