Trish says, "He's one of those kids who'll end up on a clock tower with an AK-47". This is a reference to Charles Joseph Whitman aka "The Texas Tower Sniper". On August 1st, 1966 at around 11:30 a.m. Whitman climbed the tower at the University of Texas in Austin, laden with multiple firearms, and began shooting at people from atop the tower.
In total he murdered 16 people (including his mother and his wife, both of whom he stabbed to death before he went to Texas University) and injured 31 people. Contrary to popular belief he did not, in fact, have an AK-47; he had a .30 caliber M1 carbine semi-automatic.
