Texas Tower Sniper: Charles Whitman

On August 1, 1966, the University of Texas at Austin became the site of one of the deadliest mass shootings in American history. Perched atop the campus clock tower, Charles Whitman — the “Texas Tower Sniper” — opened fire on unsuspecting students and faculty, killing 16 people (including his wife and mother) and wounding more than 30 others. In this episode of [Podcast Name], we uncover the story behind Whitman’s shocking rampage: his troubled childhood, his life as a Marine sharpshooter, his struggles with rage and violent impulses, and the brain tumor later found during his autopsy. We also take you through the terrifying 96 minutes of chaos on campus, the heroic efforts of police and armed citizens who fought back, and the lasting impact this tragedy left on law enforcement, universities, and American society. This is the chilling, heartbreaking story of the 1966 Texas Tower Shooting, remembered not only for its brutality but also for the resilience of those who survived.
