96 Minutes of Terror // The University of Texas Tower Massacre // Part 1

On August 1, 1966, what began as a normal summer day on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin turned into one of the most horrifying acts of violence in American history. For 96 minutes, a gunman positioned high above the campus rained bullets down on students, staff, and pedestrians below—killing and wounding dozens, and leaving an entire city in shock. Join Margot as she walks you through the chaos as it unfolded in real time: the victims, the heroes, and the unimaginable courage shown in the face of terror. You’ll hear how ordinary people risked their lives to save others, how law enforcement responded without modern active-shooter protocols, and how this tragedy would go on to shape the way we respond to mass violence today. This is Part 1 of the University of Texas Tower shooting. ⸻ 🎧Did you know you could listen to this episode ad-free? Join the True Crime Army Club!
