"Bids are starting at $25,000 for the sale of the rifle used by Charles Whitman during his deadly 1966 sniper rampage from atop the University of Texas clock tower that killed 16 people and wounded dozens more.

The bids are being accepted on the website of Texas Gun Trader. Donald Weiss of Dallas tells the Houston Chronicle he's helping the unidentified owner of the Remington 700 to sell the weapon. Weiss says there's a pending offer of more than $25,000 from a man in the Southeast Texas town of Orange.

Weiss says the owner obtained the rifle from Whitman's estate."
