Accused Shooter Linked To Harvard Bomb Plot

Accused Shooter Linked To Harvard Bomb Plot More details emerge from Alabama professor’s past linking her to cases

Sun., Feb. 14, 2010 The scientist who is accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama had been a key suspect in an attempted bomb plot at Harvard in 1993, police officials told The Boston Globe on Sunday.

Authorities questioned Amy Bishop and her husband, James Anderson, in March 1993 after a bomb-laden package was delivered to a Harvard professor and doctor at Boston's Children's Hospital, the Globe reported.

The plot was the latest revelation linking Bishop to past investigations. Bishop is accused of shooting to death three colleagues during a faculty meeting on the University of Alabama's Hunstville, Ala. campus on Friday.

Bishop, who has four children, was arrested soon after the shooting and charged with capital murder. Other charges are pending. Her husband was detained and questioned by police but has not been charged.

In 1986, Bishop shot and killed her 18-year-old brother with a shotgun at their Braintree, Mass., home. She told police at the time that she had been trying to learn how to use the gun, which her father had bought for protection, when it accidentally discharged.

Authorities released her and said the episode was a tragic accident. She was never charged, though police Chief Paul Frazier on Saturday questioned how the investigation was handled. In the Harvard plot, a police official told the Globe that Bishop's name surfaced as a suspect because she was allegedly concerned about getting a negative evaluation on her doctorate work from Dr. Paul Rosenberg.

You should hear the whole story.

The shotgun ‘went off’ three times.

It almost went off a fourth time when she took it outside and flagged down a passing motorist.

Apparently she flagged down a motorist, got a ride to a nearby car dealership, and stole a car at gunpoint.

Can’t post from Boston Globe. But BG links to a Police report. - “But a statement released by Braintree Police Chief Paul Frazier and a State Police investigative report from more than 20 years ago released by the Norfolk district attorney’s office differ widely in other respects — and in the conclusions they draw.” http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2010/02/statement_from_32.html ht - http://pajamasmedia.com/richardfernandez/2010/02/13/the-shadows-of-the-past/#more-8011

Damed elitists who didn’t grab their tenure (= govt salary for f’n twenty years.)

Here is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance gone wrong, liberal style.

What, I worked all these years for this and some other ‘competitor’ got the spoils?

Norfolk DA at the time was Bill Delahunt current Congressman 10th MA. I will not be surprised when word gets out why she got off easily multiple times. The local newspapers haven’t got it yet but I believe the truth will be revealed shortly.....

I heard that she fired three times at the brother. One time could be an accident, but not three.

Statement from Braintree Police Chief Paul Frazier on Amy Bishop
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2450815/posts

“Officer Solimini recalled the incident as follows: He said he 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. Officer Solimini found her behind a business on Washington Street. Officer Timothy Murphy was able to take control of the suspect at gunpoint and seized the shotgun. Ms. Bishop was subsequently handcuffed and transported to the police station under arrest.”

Well, she isnt in Massachusetts anymore, in Alabama she wont see the light of day again, almost certainly to find herself on death row and facing execution.
