Episode 69 | AMERICA'S FIRST MASS SHOOTING | 1966 Austin, Texas

Homicide Inc. - Compelling True Crime Stories

In 1966 Texas learned the true fury of firearms when its capital, Austin, became the home of America’s first mass shooting. At the time, the concept that anyone anywhere could be randomly gunned down by a stranger was unheard of. No one saw it coming. That fateful day former marine and trained sniper, Charles Whitman, climbed up the stairs of the University of Texas clock tower and open-fired on those below. It was the catalyst that coined the term ‘mass shooting’. It sparked debates about gun laws and diminished responsibility and paved the way for the shooters that sadly to this day, continue to follow in his footsteps. ★Enjoy!
