	Charles Whitman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966) is known for ascending The University of Texas at Austin's 27-story tower on August 1, 1966, and shooting passersby in the city and on the campus below, after having killed his mother and his wife.
		Whitman's choice of victims was indiscriminate, and most of the victims were shot on Guadalupe Street, a major commercial and business district across from the west side of the campus.
		As a former Marine, Whitman's casket was draped with an American flag for the burial in Section 16 of the Hillcrest Memorial Park in West Palm Beach, Florida.

	Charles Whitman
		He entered the observation deck of the University of Texas bell tower with a rifle, and proceeded to shoot down from the tower into the area, aiming at random civilians who happened to be in the area.
		Law enforcement officials tried to distract Whitman by flying a small airplane past the tower; but the attacks continued until the observation deck was stormed by three volunteers who took it upon themselves to stop the killing.
		The reason behind Whitman's suicidal rampage is still unknown, though it has been suggested that he had a mental disorder (a brain tumor was discovered during the autopsy), that he was under the influence of amphetamines, and that he was homicidal-suicidal.

	The Biography Channel - Charles Whitman Biography
		Charles Joseph Whitman was born on 24th June 1941, and seemed destined to live the American Dream, coming from a wealthy, prominent family with a home that was the envy of the neighbourhood.
		Whitman began his studies at the University of Texas in Austin on 15th September 1961 and immediately floundered, without the rigid discipline that he was accustomed to, first at home and then in the Marines.
		Whitman was still moving around the observation deck unchecked, and turned his attention westward, toward Guadalupe Street, a busy street lined with businesses, where three more victims were despatched in quick succession, followed by another three, as the inhabitants unsuccessfully sought cover from the crack marksman.

		I finally got around to reading this powerful Texas Monthly story about August 1, 1966, the day Charles Whitman shot 43 people (killing 15) from the top of the UT Tower in Austin, and I'm glad I did.
		I really didn't know very much about Whitman's crime, which was the first of its kind and which spurred the creation of SWAT teams around the country.
		I was 10 years old living in Austin when this happened, and as it turned out Whitman was a student in the same discipline of engineering as my Dad, and they shared the same counselor, who came and stayed the night with us because of the press looking for him and a story.
