Chief: Ala. Prof Held in 3 Killings Shot Mass. Kin
ABC ^ | 02/13/10 | Jay Lindsey

A University of Alabama professor accused of fatally shooting three colleagues at a faculty meeting this week shot her younger brother dead at their home in the Boston suburbs more than 20 years ago, but records of it are missing, police said Saturday.

Amy Bishop shot her brother in the chest in 1986, Braintree police Chief Paul Frazier said at a news conference. She fired at least three shots, hitting her brother once and hitting her bedroom wall, before police took her into custody at gunpoint, he said.

Before Bishop could be booked, the police chief back then told officers to release her to her mother, Frazier said.

The shooting of the brother, Seth Bishop, was logged as an accident, but detailed records of the shooting have disappeared, he said.

"The report's gone, removed from the files," he said.

He said people who worked for the police department then remember the shooting and he planned to meet with the district attorney over the possibility of launching a criminal investigation into the report's disappearance.

No. In the other story posted, her mother spun a story about an accident.

Professor accused in Ala. slayings shot her brother in Mass. 24 years ago

Then-Police Chief John Polio told the Globe in 1986 that Bishop had asked her mother, Judith, in the presence of her brother how to unload a round from the chamber of a 12-gauge shotgun.

Polio told the Globe that while Amy Bishop was handling the weapon, it fired, wounding Seth Bishop in the abdomen. He was pronounced dead at a hospital 46 minutes after the Dec. 6, 1986 shooting.

Please edit...editorializing on the header is incorrect—she did not shoot her brother 3X.

Her records were removed?

Didn’t know she was a relative of the Kennedys and the Obamaloon.

Looks like this nutcase may have murdered FOUR people and not just three professors in Alabama.

The records of her brother’s killing went missing a year later. It’s not likely either Harvard of UA knew of her past.

Oh my.

If anyone posts to you what is really up with this - please post to me.

Missing files?????

That does not happen.

I would bet someone higher than a chief of police is involved somehow.

Delahunt’s office involved? Is this opening the door just a crack wider for another possible takeover of a Democrat Congress seat?

The left is scrambling?

This has political overtones in Alabama?

1. Based on her race, this woman may be one of the thousands upon thousands of "affirmative action" hires at universities. (This is because liberals are racist, not I.)

What?

He was apparently much more gifted than she was

Well, from some posts it sounds like she might have been an affirmative action hire or something.

I’d like to know if she was attending Harvard at the time.

I haven’t read that. She looks white. Although she may have some American Indian ancestor.
