  ABSTRACT: The issue of mass shootings in America could be traced to 1891. However, the incident of August 1966 at the University of Texas sniper shooting and the awareness that this could be the first mass shooting and perhaps an incident that would become a teachable moment for the country; was misplaced. The utter complacence and inability to stem this tide significantly demonstrates how our society acknowledges albeit her weakness and lack of political will in tackling the obnoxious human wastages in the hands of trigger-happy kids and some mentally ill individuals from unleashing terror on our respectable institutions, and social gatherings.
