“You know, that would be a great place to go up with a deer rifle and shoot people. You could hold off an army and no one could get to you.” -Charles Whitman, 5 years before he killed 16 people and wounded 32 others during a shooting rampage on and around the University of Texas at Austin’s campus on August 1, 1966. The tower massacre happened shortly after Whitman murdered his wife and mother at their homes. While in the tower, Whitman listened to the police on a transistor radio “to hear about it before he died himself”.
