Police hunt University of Georgia professor in shooting deaths

(CNN) -- Police are looking for a University of Georgia professor in the shooting deaths of three people on Saturday, authorities tell CNN.

An alert on the UGA Web site says professor George Zinkhan is a suspect in an off-campus shooting.

Sonny Wilson, Athens-Clarke County coroner, confirmed three people were dead, but couldn't provide identities.

UGA is in Athens, but university spokesman Pete Konenkamp said the shootings did not happen on campus.

Information about the shooting was disseminated through a campus-wide alert, which identified professor George Zinkhan as a shooting suspect.

"George Zinkhan is a white male in his mid-50s with a goatee or beard. ... He was last seen wearing a polo shirt, blue shorts, and a backpack. He was last thought to be in a red car in the area of Prince Avenue," the alert said.

OK, not the Prof I know at UGA that is a certified lunatic.

[GeronL]

he has published books, I am sure they will sell well.

His resume epitomizes what is wrong with academia. He is a professor in the business school with a PhD in business who has never had a job other than in academia. His undergrad degree was in English.........

Never trust a man with a goatee (was he a civil war reenactor or something?).

Or anybody who went to Swarthmore.

Or anybody who can't proofread his own resume:

University of Pittsburgh, College of Busienss, Associate Professor 1987 to 1988

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Education:
Ph.D., University of Michigan, Business Administration (1981)
M.B.A., University of Michigan, Operations Research (1979)
B.A., Swarthmore College, English Literature (1974)

The guy's no slouch. I wonder what happened.

A coroner in Georgia says three people have been killed at a community theater and police are searching for the suspect, a University of Georgia professor.

Athens-Clarke County Coroner Sonny Wilson said the three were shot off campus about 12:30 p.m. Saturday.

His undergrad degree in English is the only valid thing about his education! (You can study in any liberal arts subject in school, but classes in business are bunk. You want to learn about business? Go work in a 7-11. You’ll learn more there than in any business class.)

[utahagen]

I’m going to get in trouble for this, but I’d bet there was a gay love triangle at the center of this crime.
