Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 – August 1, 1966) was an American mass murderer and former Marine. He is infamously known as the “Texas Tower Sniper” for his deadly shooting spree at the University of Texas at Austin on August 1, 1966. During this tragic event, Whitman killed 14 people and wounded 32 others before being shot by police.
Whitman was born in Lake Worth, Florida, and had a troubled upbringing, marked by a strict and abusive father. He was an Eagle Scout and later joined the Marines, where he earned a scholarship to study at the University of Texas. However, his academic performance declined, and he struggled with personal issues, including severe headaches and mental health problems.
In the months leading up to the shooting, Whitman sought professional help for his mental health but did not receive the support he needed. An autopsy revealed a brain tumor, which some experts believe may have contributed to his violent behavior.
