True Crime in Academia Episode 76: The University of Texas Tower Shooting (Charles Whitman)
Hey, true crime friends! This week we will be discussing the University of Texas Tower Shooting that took place in early August 1966. Charles Whitman, an architectural engineering student and former US Marine, took the lives of 14 people and injured 31.
