She said Bishop followed her outside the room and leveled the 9 mm pistol at her, then pulled the trigger. But it didn't fire.

I'm sure that's an experience one never forgets.

So sad, but she is lucky to be alive.

Choices with a crazed gunmen on a school campus...

1- “Talk ‘em out of it”
2- Run like hell in a zig zag to confuse
3- Bend over and kiss own ass goodbye.

Here is another interesting article:

WOW! Isn’t it LUCKY no one is allowed to carry a gun on the campus! Someone could have actually stopped this nutbar before she killed 3 people. That would have been considered interfering with Bishop’s right to free expression!

>>So sad, but she is lucky to be alive.<<

Angels no doubt on overtime. It is so frustrating to be part of the tapestry of God’s Plan and not be able to see more then a few adjoining threads.

God saved this lady for a reason we can’t fathom. I hope she looks for meaning in her survival and arrives at what He wants.

She’s lucky Bishop didn’t practice stoppage drills when she was at the range.

If these college professor's were consistent, they would demand that the “gun” be arrested, and send to perp to counseling!!

From the article:

According to a critical incident counselor, the signs were likely there, "but most people don't know what to look for."

Well jeepers, Einstein, if the crazy loon had been prosecuted, tried, convicted, and locked up back in 1986 she'd have had a criminal record for murder, and I think even in Alabama they know how to be on the lookout for that. But the elites of Braintree Massachusetts decided that her mommy's ego had more important things to do, so now three more are dead. Thanks for playing though.

Reports are the perp was angry at not getting tenure but I read in one article (don't remember where) that one of her victims was actually on her side and had backed her for tenure.

Looks like she just went apesh!t.

20 years ago after killing her brother, she ALSO tried to carjack a passing motorist, and when that didn’t work, she ran to a nearby car repair place and leveled the shotgun at the chest of a mechanic, demanding a get-away car.

A big-time liberal congressman (who was DA at the time) let her off.

We need 2b looking at the connections between her parents and the local big-shots —STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN.

Yesterday I told my wife that I had heard nothing on the news associating the shooter politically. Even though this was in Huntsville Al, I told her my bet was that she was a radical liberal.

Sure enough, last night I watched as the news outlined her background and suspected "romps" in Massachusetts. Today I read that she was a foaming at the mouth Obama supporter.

Shocker, that.

Had she been a Bush or McLame supporter, and/or a 2nd ammendment advocate you can bet your last devaluating dollar that the press would have beat this story into the ground.

This is an interesting contrast with the other survivor’s statement. Typical of witnesses’ stories differing after high-stress situations.

Connections 25 years ago with the Mass police dept got the whole matter swept under the rug.

“3 blasts in the house” for an accident. B.S. there.

And car-jacking ???

The individual learns that she si above the law at anytime in their life and will repeat that belief.

then pulled the trigger

It is a great failing in our legal system that this Professor Amy is still alive. (And I'm only considering the UAH shootings.) Government and defendant should each get 30 minutes to make their case and then a jury should decide. An appeal could be heard for fifteen minutes the next day if necessary, which would provide ample time to procure some rope.
