LDALL SHOOTING 2

According to media reports, Amy Bishop, also a
professor and one of the star researchers of the university,
had opened fire at a biology faculty meeting held to decide
her tenure.
Police did not give the reason behind the incident,
but local television WAFF, citing authorities, said the woman
resorted to shooting at the biology faculty meeting after
learning that she would not be granted tenure.
42-year-old Bishop was charged with murder, which
means she could face the death penalty if convicted, the media
said.
College spokesman Ray Garner told reporters that two
of the three people injured remained in critical condition
while a third was in stable condition at a Huntsville
Hospital.
Of the wounded, two were faculty members and the third
was a staff member. None of the students were harmed in the
incident.
Reyes, who did not identify the accused, said a woman
shooting suspect was in custody and a second person was
detained, but not arrested.
"We have a suspect and possible person of interest,"
he told reporters last night. "Until we go through everything,
we're not going to say exactly how many or who we have."
The incident is reported to have occurred shortly
before 4 p.m. in Shelby Hall on the university campus last
evening. (MORE) PTI
