HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - Police said a female member of the UA-Huntsville staff shot and killed three co-workers on campus.

Huntsville Police, Madison County Sheriff's department and HEMSI responded to a shooting at the UAH campus at 4:00 Friday afternoon.

The shooting happened in the Shelby Center, a math and science classroom building.

Authorities said a female faculty member during a Biology faculty meeting learned she would not receive tenure. She then pulled out a gun and started shooting.

I was in a meeting years ago and one participant was a particularly ignorant woman named Ida.

I referenced my tenure with the company.. "not during my tenure".

She pops off with "You haven't been here ten years!"

There followed about thirty seconds of awkward silence.

You were saying ...

She was carrying a gun BEFORE she learned?

Pre-meditated *just in case*?

Apparently they can carry there, so that wouldn't be the case. See Post #18

I know what it is, having worked in universities and community colleges, but I never understood it as an entitlement.

Are you kidding? If tenure is not a government employee benefit, or an entitlement, how come those working hard in the private sector don't get "Tenure"?

Another gun-free zone experiences peace and happiness.

Except... that wasn't a gun-free zone, according to another FReeper. See Post #18

Ida, huh?

Her last name wasn't Dumasbeech, was it?

Guessing that she knew this was coming because she had a gun on her and was ready to use it in a department meeting?

Not necessarily, because anyone can apparently carry there. See Post #18

I live right on the edge of the campus - across from Stanky Field

Funny. I live at Oak something apartments behind the Circle K near Stanky Field.

Premeditated murder with a handgun on a gunfree college campus by a female liberal teacher over rage at being denied power.

It doesn't appear to be a gun-free zone. But, it would be good to clear that issue up for this discussion. Does anyone else want to confirm it or not? See Post #18

You misread my posts, both times.

However, you speak of entitlement as though it is fact. I speak of it as a mental aberration, i.e., not understandable to the rational mind.

This is another of those “gun free zone” multiple killings. So sad.....

I don't think that was the case. But, I'm waiting for someone else to confirm the other FReeper. See Post #18

No, she *premeditatively* took a gun to wipe out some people who were nothing more than pond scum/idiots in her eyes, and expected no eternal consequences to that.

You would have to get that confirmed that it was premeditated. I don't know that it was. It may have been, but you couldn't say so, just because she had a gun. See Post #18

This can not be true , it said she pulled out a gun. This was a “GUN FREE ZONE”.

Are you sure that's the case. I would like to have that confirmed one way or another, as it's a "material fact" to this discussion. See Post #18
