HUNTSVILLE, Ala.- Amy Bishop kept quiet about a violent episode in her past around colleagues and students at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. But there was one personal issue she didn't mind loudly complaining about: being denied tenure.
Still, those who knew her said the woman accused of shooting six colleagues had never suggested she might become violent. Everyone from family and friends to her students said the intelligent and at times awkward teacher seemed normal in the hours before police say she opened fire in a faculty meeting Friday afternoon, leaving three dead and three wounded.....

She probably didn’t make tenure because she has a screw loose. Academia is very political and the “gatekeepers” probably wanted to rid themselves of her.
These murders remind of murders that happened at the University of Iowa some years back when some math or physics professor was denied tenure. He shot and killed a number of his colleagues. The moral of the story: be in another country when you send the notice about denial of tenure to a prospective candidate. It appears a number of these people are seriously disturbed.
Attorney General Delahunt pulled the political strings and made sure there was NO investigation in the murder of her brother.
The youngest is in the 3rd grade.
That’s too bad.
Thanx
They should check her behavior to boyfriends before her marriage. I would not want to be a boyfriend who broke up with her. She would likely perpetuate a violent act. I think she has a revenge mindset that she must get even. These type of people are very dangerous because they appear normal.
I’ve been away for a few days. Do you have a link to a story about it?
The first thing my husband said when he got a look at her was that she should have gone after her hairdresser too
(He's so bad!!!)
Are they supposed to be registered?
Reported on news this morning that she mailed a bomb to someone at Harvard and nothing ever came of it. Wow, to skate through life getting away with literally murder.
She obviously has serious psychiatric dysfunction.
Being a “Liberal Professor” :-(((( should explain, and be the sum of the whole content of her life.
Look for the proctors of the Left to start defending this Libtard.

I read they were aged 9 to 18 or 9 to 19, four of them.
I read she didn’t have a carry permit and they didn’t know where she obtained the gun from. Didn’t hear anything about “registering”. I don’t think that is required.
It seems to me - that each time in her life when she felt threatened by someone - 1) accomplished brother 2) Harvard Doctor who could jeopardize her PhD and finally 3) the faculty of the Biology Dept. at UAH..... She had the same solution (eliminate the “threat”).... Unfortunately for the 6 victims at UAH - she was never held accountable before Friday - in fact - her life went along quite smoothly...investigation of brother’s killing was dropped, investigation of the pipe bomb was never solved.....

Wow nice house.
I heard from 9 to 18 years old (4 children) - How sad for them :(
Yeah - makes the “cover up” of the brother’s killing even more plausible doesn’t it? The rich seem to be able to get these things done .... what is most troubling is the paperwork is “missing” on the case....and I think during the years when this happened....her mother was working in some capacity for the police force or the local government (forgot the particulars on that)....
