Amy Bishop fired from UAH
2010-03-12
University of Alabama in Huntsville officials have fired professor Amy Bishop, who's accused of shooting and killing three colleagues last month.
I'm sure she'll appeal.
A one-paragraph letter dated Feb. 26 was mailed to Bishop informing her the university had terminated her employment effective Feb. 12, said UAH spokesman Ray Garner.
If we're all lucky she'll have a job for the rest of her life.
Bishop was suspended without pay retroactively on the day of the attack, Garner said. Bishop has been charged with capital murder in a shooting that also injured three others in a faculty meeting on Feb. 12. She has been also charged with three counts of attempted murder.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) – Investigators descended on home of Amy Bishop Anderson and her husband, around 9:00 a.m. Friday morning to serve a search warrant. A suspicious device found inside prompted much more investigating.

This comes at the one month anniversary of the U-A Huntsville shootings. Dr. Amy Bishop is accused of killing 3 colleagues and injuring three more.

A robot was sent inside the home of Dr. Amy Bishop Anderson and her husband, Jim followed by a boom that rippled through the south Huntsville neighborhood.

"There was a loud boom," said neighbor Conrad Thomas. "It sounded like a small explosive device, like a bomb."

The sound shook neighbors in the community with more commotion coming from the Bishop-Anderson home. As a precaution and Bomb Squad procedure, people in the homes next door the Bishop-Anderson household were evacuated and the bomb squad was dispatched with the aid of a robot to handle it.

"They used a robot to take it to a safe place and they detonated it," said Huntsville Police Department Major Crimes Unit Supervisor, John Turis. "There was no bomb making materials, nothing suspicious it just happened to be a piece of PVC pipe."
