" ABC also has a story painting Bishop as a woman with a past filled with confrontation and anger. "

Typical Feminist.

Congressman William Delahunt of Massachusetts.

These murders are partially on his damn liberal head, too.

So, how did that liberal Closet Communist mantra, "Let's just talk about this..." work out?

Oh...

Previous post-shotgunning reports represented Bishop as having run out of “the MANSE” —that’s a mansion, but I have not seen a photo of their place. I did not see the photo you’re citing above.

I would be VERY interested in their income, although I know that her father was just a professor of art history at Northeastern University.

She COULD be old money & connections, but I wasn’t able to turn that up. The DA and Chief of Police was taking a pretty big chance, here, though, so I’m thinking they thought that failure to help this troubled family could somehow have had repercussions for them.

I do not KNOW that, however.

Another professor, Bob Lawton, managed to close the door and lock Bishop out, she said. He and Dr. John Shriver then barricaded the door with an overturned table and a small refrigerator.

Two men versus one woman with a jammed gun and they barricade the door instead of disarming and capturing her? If the fear is that she'll get the gun un-jammed and begin shooting again, then how about all of the students they put at risk by not disarming her?

You're mistaken about Ng. Here's his story....

"She started with the one closest to her and went down the row shooting her targets in the head," Ng wrote. "Six people sitting in the rows perpendicular were all shot fatally or seriously wounded. The remaining 5 including myself were on the other side of the table (and) immediately dropped to the floor.

"During a reload, the shooter was rushed, and we pushed her out the hall way and closed the door. Thereafter we barricaded the door and called 911."

Ng told the Associated Press the charge was led by Debra Moriarity, a professor of biochemistry, after Bishop aimed the gun at her and attempted to fire but it didn't shoot. He said Moriarity pushed her way to Bishop, urged her to stop, and then helped force her out the door.

"Moriarity was probably the one that saved our lives. She was the one that initiated the rush," he told the AP. "It took a lot of guts to just go up to her."

Ng said the survivors worried she would shoot her way through the door, and frantically worked up backup plan in case she burst through. But she never did.

The stories matchup. Ther are some minor inconsistencies, but that can easily be attributed to stress, poor questioning and simply not getting into the pure specifics.

One charge of Capitol Murder. In Alabama, the capital murder statute requires aggravating factors. Killing all three in the one act is the aggravating factor.

Also charged with 3 counts of attempted murder.

If the two people who are in critical condition don’t make it, that will increase her murder count.

I am praying those two people survive this with their bodies and brains working as well as they did before.

Another victim, (Dr. Davis, I think) told her stepdaughters that Bishop was arrogant and wasn’t as smart as she thought she was.

Yep. I know one of the 2 in intensive care had a head-shot wound. The one treated and released was also hit in the head.

She was going for head shots. She was a least 5 for 6. 6 for 6 if you count the minor flesh wound.

You are reporting much more than the article I read.

I read only that he and another pushed her out the door.

Actually she followed the other woman out the door and when the gun didn’t fire the woman ran back into the conference room and they slammed the door.

Rumor is that she wanted to know who was going to take care of her kids when she was arrested. Maybe she should have asked that BEFORE she opened fire.

Always the victim.

To Ms. Janet Napalitano,

It seems like we need to add some profiling characteristics to the potential enemies list...

1) Harvard Educated
2) Rabid Obama Supporters
3) Academic Professors

There you go. Round’em up and bring them in for questioning. I will feel much safer.
