The Sniper in the Tower: The Charles Whitman Murders
The bodies kept falling, the blood was real, and the man on the deck, a consummate actor for a number of years, was no longer acting.On August 1, 1966, Charles Joseph Whitman ascended the University of Texas Tower and committed what was then the largest simultaneous mass murder in American history. He gunned down forty-five people inside and around the Tower before he was killed by two Austin police officers. During the previous evening he had killed his wife and mother, bringing the total to sixteen people dead and at least thirty-one wounded. The murders spawned debates over issues which still plague America today: domestic violence, child abuse, drug abuse, military indoctrination, gun control, the insanity defense, and the delicate balance between civil liberties and public safety.From the Inside Flapept falling, the blood was real, and the man on the deck, a consummate actor for a number of years, was no longer acting.
