In this episode, I'm discussing the man credited for being America's "first mass shooter". Charles Whitman, the person behind the massacre known as the University of Texas Tower shooting in 1966. Let's discuss how this tragic chapter in American history changed the landscape of psychology's approach to discussions of homicidal ideation and how the public safety system changed forever.
