Deadly shooting at Alabama university

I would have posted about this yesterday, but I was exhausted after work and just could not get the blogging side of my brain going. Donald Douglas, however, was not suffering from BBD, Blogging Brain Disorder, and did a nice job covering the story.

The main story’s at the Huntsville Times, “University of Alabama in Huntsville Biology Professor in Custody Regarding Deadly Shooting at Faculty Meeting.”

But AOSHQ has a report, “Three Dead at University of Alabama at Huntsville as Woman Denied Tenure Opens Fire.” And FWIW, here’s this from Professor Bishop’s RateMyProfessors page:

Neuroscience essentially turns into a bioethics class. She’s a liberal from “Hahvahd” and let’s you know exactly how she feels about particular subjects …

And from Confederate Yankee, “Professor Snaps, Kills Faculty When Denied Tenure“:

What sickens me the most is that according to the story, the Harvard-educated shooter, Amy Bishop, obviously suspected that she was going to be denied tenure, and brought the gun into the meeting to kill those peers who told her she wasn’t as good as she thought. Pathetic.

Donald has more this morning. I wonder how this will play in the mainstrem media. Will they find a way to bash the Right? Of course they will play the gun control card, that is a given, and hey, since this happened in Alabama,  do not be surprised to see the South’s “gun culture” card played either. They might even go so far as to imply that this woman was driven to such an act by the Right’s “anti-intellectualism”.
