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.

“I did not even know such a thing was possible.”
Unh, you haven’t been watching Obama and the Democrat Congress?
You guys probably spend a lot of time in the kitchen huh?
She looks like a Paranoid Progressive Democrat.

She has the look of a fanatical progressive.
Of somebody is a member of the Newspaper Archives.com they might go and see if there are any reports in the Braintree/Boston papers of the 1986 shooting.

She not only fired three times, but she threatened a motorist on the street and apparently the cop that busted her had reason to be very careful.
So she was incompetent in handling a weapon?
Killing three people who are no doubt taking some evasive action with a revolver and wounding others is no mean feat.
She knows how to shoot.
“Somebody please turn this into a working link.”
WVNan, I have found that a URL is automatically made into a working link when pasted into the reply box (as long as no HTML codes are used in the reply).

Wasn’t she Native American or something?

Well, if she was born here, she’s native American.
LOL, trying to backtrack from your smug prejudiced notion that she HAD to be black, by now saying well, maybe she’s Indian.
Well, it so happens she’s white. Care to make any racial conclusions from that and enlighten the rest of us?
Thank you.
her race? is she part-Klingon?
Working links aren’t that hard. The following is a link to the HTML Sandbox thread that provides lots of info on html coding and how to format. It gives the formular for making a link. The thread is also used as a practice thread so that one can see if they have the techniques down. Click the following and enjoy, note the section on “how to create a link”:

I betcha she IS affirmative-action, by gum.
She looks like Princess Summer-Fall Winter-Spring.
Wasn't she on Howdy Doody in '53??

“This is ridiculous. Shooting someone in the chest three times is an “accident”? If Bishop had been jailed she would not have killed again in Alabama.”
Wasn’t Huckabee governor back then?
Read the link.
She fired three times.
She shot him once.
Once in the wall, once in the ceiling and once in his gut.
Not my post...
I haven’t quite understood the family’s connection with Delahunt. Were they related or was there some other reason for him to be so agreeable about accepting the mother’s story?

People in gov’t like to help out others in gov’t. It’s like you’re all in a big exclusive club. The taxpayers can drop dead. Gov’t in Massachusetts exists to pay its employees. Not to help the citizens
Thank you. I don’t think it has ever worked for me. I keep trying different things but nothing ever turns into a working link. Really computer challenged.
I have visited the sandbox numerous times over the years. My problem is understanding the computer language, and then remembering how it worked once I learn. LOL Thanks.
