Charles Whitman 4/5

Charles Joseph Whitman (June 24, 1941 August 1, 1966), a student at the University of Texas at Austin, was a spree killer who murdered 14 people and wounded 32 others during a shooting rampage on and around the university's campus. Three were killed inside the University's tower and ten killed from the 29th floor observation deck of the University's 307 foot administrative building on August 1, 1966; one died a week later from her wounds. The tower massacre happened shortly after Whitman murdered his wife and mother at their homes. He was shot and killed by Austin Police Officer Houston McCoy, assisted by Austin Police Officer Ramiro Martinez. The incident was the deadliest university shooting in United States history until the Virginia Tech massacre of 2007.

worst. reenactment. ever.

[StAraqiel]

That was awesome. After freely gunning down folks right and left, Whitman gets ambushed by two cops without even getting a return shot off. Boo fuckin' yeah!

[TheMachoman17]

Very interesting that someone who was such a good shot with all of these weapons got the worst M-16 qualification badge you can receive in the Marine Corps. Proof at 7:20

@bond3737 Look up Charles Whitman on Wikipedia. They have a photo of what Whitman really looked liked after the "confrontation".
