Charles Whitman :
•Aug. 1, 1966--Whitman, a failed
Marine, killed 14 people
and injured dozens in an unimpeded shooting spree for 96 minutes from the bell tower at the University
of Texas in Austin. It was
described as “a nearly unassailable vantage point from which
he could select and
dispatch victims.”
•“He was our initiation into a
terrible time”
