Huberty shot and killed a 62-year-old trucker named Laurence Versluis, before targeting one of the families near the play area of the restaurant, who had tried to shield their children beneath the tables with their bodies.[1] Blythe Regan Herrera (aged 31) had shielded her 11-year-old son, Matao, beneath one booth, and her husband Ronald protected 12-year-old Keith Thomas under a booth across from them.
