No evidence of email threads to a local church or priest, no response to other incidents... must be a terrorist.

Dr. Amy Bishop
Well - don't think she is in her 20's. If she is - she spent too much time in the frog lab.

Right now it is on all of our local news programs... I am relieved that I didn't have any of my old students hurt in this whole mess...

Dr. Bishop received her Ph.D. in Genetics, but obviously her DNA Replication. C. G. C. T. A. T. A. C. G. T. A. T. A. T. A. G. C. T. A. T. A. C. G. C. T. A. C. G. T …strand was a bit off!

I'm kind of surprised at the lack of coverage this is getting. Maybe because it was only faculty that were shot???? Odd.

If there had been a video of twitching bodies with blood splattered around then it would have been able to compete for air time with the luge rider who was killed.
No video = no news.

Sounds like one strange person
Prof. charged in 3 fatal shootings on Ala. campus
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100213/...fdG9wX3N0b3JpZ
"...She was taken Friday night in handcuffs to the county jail, and said as she got into a police car: "It didn't happen. There's no way. ... They are still alive."
Students' assessments of Bishop varied. Some recalled an attentive, friendly teacher, while others said she was an odd woman who couldn't simplify difficult subjects for students. Sammie Lee Davis, the husband of a tenured researcher who was killed, said his wife had described Bishop as "not being able to deal with reality" and "not as good as she thought she was."....."

Since that is typically the norm for most College Professors - she must have been exceptionally weird and nerdy!

A campus shooting perpetrated by a white female Harvard graduate professor?
I thought the Ft. Hood incident demonstrated a new level of craziness.
