University of Alabama in Huntsville biology professor in custody regarding deadly shooting at faculty meeting

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- A biology professor is in custody in connection with three fatal shootings on the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus Friday afternoon, according to a UAH official.
Dr. Amy Bishop, a Harvard-University trained neuroscientist, was taken into custody, and her husband has been detained. They have not been charged with a crime.
According to police, three people were killed and three were wounded when the shooter opened fire during a biology faculty meeting on the third floor of the Shelby Center for Science and Technology. The three injured people are being treated at Huntsville Hospital.
In June 2006, The Times published a story involving Bishop, biology professor and her husband, Jim Anderson, chief science officer of Cherokee Labsystems in Huntsville.
Bishop is quoted in the story as co-inventor of "InQ," a new cell growth incubator which promised to cut the costs, size and maintenance involved in the mechanics of cell generation.

Together, she and Anderson designed a sealed, self-contained cell incubation system that is mobile and eliminates many of the problems with cultivating tissues in the fragile environment of the petri dish Somehow I suspect that this figures into the motive of shooting somehow.

My guess? The U owns her research, denied her tenure, and will make mad bank off her work — while she’ll be tossed out due to not having tenure.

OK, so we know immediately we can rule out muzzies or jihad.
Wonder what the motive could be?

That is one of the most likely scenarios. Another likely contributing in addition to what you mentioned is that egos of some faculties were badly bruised over her achievement.
However, it may be that she is just upset over people trying to have some piece of her achievement, and she overreacted. Only time will tell.

The incubator was a seperate business endeavor with her husband, so I can’t see how the university of Alabama could own it.

If she used processes developed as an UAH professor w/o permission she in effect stole it.

Behind all this legalistic “alleged” stuff are people saying they saw her do it?

Tenure, maybe, but there may have been some disagreement as to who had intellectual property rights to her discovery and and spinoff applications.

Huh, so then she might have gotten kicked over this unethical conduct. If she’d kept it at the university things would have gone much better.

Women can maybe handle the vote (votes for Zer0 from single women excepted), but should they be allowed access to guns?
Just asking.

If a male faculty member had killed 3 of his colleagues, would his wife who wasn’t on the faculty have been detained?

More liberal college professors on a homicidal rampage. First the Georgia prof and now this Harvard-trained liberal college professor. Imagine the rampage soon to inflict the Ivy league.
