Chapter
1 - Ordinary
People Going On A Rampage To Kill

    “ Who
would have thought? These are perhaps the very words that played in
the minds of the victims who survived and the witnesses who saw the
crimes committed by people who seem to have no guts to perform mass
killing.
    In
this section, you will learn about some of the murders that shook the
afflicted community because the perpetrators seemed to have no bad
bone to be able to carry out multiple murders.
    1.
The University of Texas Tower Shooting Disaster
    On
the afternoon of August 1, 1966, Charles Whitman, an engineering
student and a former US Marine, went up the observatory deck of the
UT Tower, but his purpose was not to observe, he was there to kill
with abandon.
    From
the 28 th floor,
Whitman drew out his gun and shot three people inside the
observatory. As tragic as it may seem, it wasn’t enough for him
because from his position, he was able to shoot 15 more students on
the ground.
    After
an hour and a half, Whitman shot himself while leaving 18 dead bodies
and 30 others who were injured.
    What’s
even more terrifying is he killed his wife and his mother in their
home before the incident.
    2.
Eric Borel Family Murders and Killing Spree
    At
around 6 in the evening, Eric Borel was believed to have a
misunderstanding with his stepfather, but no one thought that it
would lead to a fatal disaster.
    Borel
shot his stepfather in the head, and if that was not enough, he got a
hammer and repeatedly pounded him on the head as well. Even his 11
year old stepbrother did not escape the tragedy: while innocently
watching TV, Borel shot him (again, in the head) and just like what
he did to the father, he also hammered him there, this time using a
baseball bat.
    What’s
eerie about this event is that Borel seemed calm and collected, going
so far as to clean the mess, wipe the blood, and cover the body with
sheets. But cleaning it wasn’t the
