Anybody remember the movie about this event that was filmed in Baton Rouge and on the LSU campus? Kurt Russell played Charles Whitman.

Yep I remember, course I can't forget because my dad likes to remind us of how he was an extra in the movie. he was in the shop when he bought the gun and he was also one of the shooting victims.
