The neurobiologist accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama in Huntsville on Friday fatally shot her brother in 1986 in suburban Boston, the authorities in Massachusetts confirmed Saturday.
[...]
Early Saturday, the police in Huntsville charged the neurobiologist, Amy Bishop, 45, with capital murder in the shootings Friday during a faculty meeting that also left three people wounded. On Saturday afternoon, the police in Braintree, Mass., announced that Ms. Bishop had fatally wounded her brother in their home 24 years ago, which The Boston Globe first reported on its Web site on Saturday. Ms. Bishop was not charged and the case records were no longer available, said Paul Frazier, the Braintree police chief.

Chief Frazier said in his statement that Officer Solimini “remembers that Ms. Bishop fired a round from a pump-action shotgun into the wall of her bedroom. She had a fight with her brother and shot him, which caused his death. She fired a third round from the shotgun into the ceiling as she exited the home. She fled down the street with the shotgun in her hand. At one point she allegedly pointed the shotgun at a motor vehicle in an attempt to get the driver to stop.”

WAAAAY down in graf 12 we get to Rep. Delahunt:

Kinda like a “Willie Horton Moment”
Delahunt is in trouble. He has done little for his home district and he is traveling in Israel - on our dime. MA is losing a seat and talk is that it will be Delahunt’s district.
State Police investigative report: ‘86 Bishop shooting
And gets ushered out the back door of the police station before an investigation can even begin.

“Braintree officers who remember the 1986 shooting said that former police Chief John Polio dismissed detectives from the case and ordered the department to release Amy Bishop after a telephone conversation with former district attorney William Delahunt, who is currently a U.S. congressman from Massachusetts.”
So even the State Police report referred to shotgun shells as “bullets”?

The police report is just her side of the story. The commentary in a related article indicates an argument with 3 shots fired. I am not sure about evidence of an argument. It seems that the police did little investigation. A careful analysis of the crime scene would probably have revealed if she and her mother told the truth. The idea of accidental discharge does not ring true. A reasonable investigation would have carefully examined the crime scene and her relationship with her brother.
Does not pass the smell test.
She killed him in cold blood. Mother covered up for her.
I found that curious as well, although, they also call them shells. I think they may have called them bullets when paraphrase witness accounts.
This truly a bizzarre story. I think it would have been worthwhile to investigate further. The mother seems to have led the cover up.
I don’t know nuttin’ about firearms, but...she fired a round from a shotgun into her brother...and it was declared an accident?
Somebody help me, please. I don’t get it.
This looks like the reason the liberal media barely reported Yesterdays shooting, at first I thought it was about them not being able to spin it for their liberal agenda, but now I’m seeing it for what it really is, they don’t want us to connect the dots, they don’t want us to know about the shooting or just to forget about it. Let me repeat this, they don’t want us to connect the dots, sarcasm for the past and present bullet holes/dots that are connected to a A DEMOCRAT CONGRESSMAN IS CONNECTED TO THIS SHOOTING. I hope this gets spread all over the Internet.
