Phoenix was terrorized by multiple serial killers between 2005 and 2006. Then in early August 2006, serial shooters Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman were arrested, marking the beginning of the end of the murders.
Ex-Marine Charles Joseph Whitman, a student at the University of Texas at Austin, went on a shooting spree that began around midnight on August 1, 1966, with the murders of his mother and his wife. The next day he went to campus and dispensed death to 16, leaving 31 others wounded before turning a weapon on himself.
