Amy Bishop, a former professor at the University of Alabama, is being taken to court for possibly killing 3 of her coworkers. On February 12th a biology faculty meeting was being held in Huntsville campus at the University. She's accused of shooting 3 and wounding 3 others. There is a lot of evidence that is pointing to Amy. Witnesses told police that she did it and there was also a gun found in the women's bathroom covered with blood and a woman's jacket on top. The jacket belonged to Amy. The gun also belonged to her husband's friend who claims he bought the gun for her husband. She also has a history of legal problems. 8 years ago at a restaurant she hit a woman because she took the last booster seat. Then her brother was shot in 1986 and Amy claimed it was an accident. Finally, both her and her husband were questioned for attempting a mail bombing of a Harvard Medical School professor in 1993. This is also evidence that she has had problems with the law. She's denying this murder case and keeps saying she wasn't there and she didn't do it.
This is a really shocking story. Considering her criminal past, I'm surprised that a school would hire her. I guess we don't know yet if she's guilty or not, but after reading this article, it sounds like she is. All the evidence is pointing to her. Maybe she's denying this murder just like she may have denied the murder of her brother. This woman seems like she has her share of problems and I really hope that proper action is taken place if she's found guilty. We need to be safe, and especially schools need to be safe. Hopefully they'll look more closely at a teacher's criminal record before hiring them. That's something we need to be aware of. http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/03/23/alabama.amy.bishop.hearing/index.html?iref=allsearch
