Shootings At University of Alabama

[AGBF]

Six people were shot and three were killed at the University of Alabama. Apparently this was done by a disgruntled, female faculty member. According to, "The New York Times" :

"The Huntsville Times, citing a university official, reported that a biology professor was being held in the shooting. WAFF, the NBC affiliate in Huntsville, quoted university officials as saying the professor began shooting after learning at the faculty meeting that she was being denied tenure. The newspaper identified the professor as Amy Bishop, a Harvard-educated neuroscientist. According to a 2006 profile in the newspaper, Dr. Bishop invented a portable cell growth incubator with her husband, Jim Anderson. Police officials said that Mr. Anderson was being detained, but they did not call him a suspect."

Its so sad. I work at a University and I can see how not getting tenure would be very stressful. Just not stressful enough to go get a gun and kill people. I can''t believe it was a woman.

But, that's impossible.... Guns aren't allowed on campus.

This is just one more very unfortunate example of why gun laws should be changed. Too many terrible things have happened to defenseless students. I went to a university right in the middle of Detroit. Very dangerous area... I am a big proponent of arming the innocent, so they can defend themselves against the wicked.

Tragic.

I read a little bit more about the incident and it seems that she went into the tenure meeting with a gun. How is she going to explain that as an acident? That seems premeditated for sure...

So sad for the families of the professors who died, the rest are still in the hospital. I hope they survive.
