HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Officials at the University of Alabama's Huntsville campus say three people have been killed and another injured in a campus shooting.
University spokesman Ray Garner says a woman is in custody but he could not identify her or any of the victims.
Sophomore Erin Johnson tells The Huntsville Times a biology faculty meeting was under way when she heard screams coming from the room.
The shooting happened Friday afternoon in the university's Shelby Center, a science building. University police secured the building and students were cleared from it.
The Huntsville campus has about 7,500 students in northern Alabama, not far from the Tennessee line.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
News reports are stating the woman in question is a faculty member who may have taken vengeance upon fellow members who denied her tenure.
It is early of course but this looks like a disgruntled employee case.

The guy who was the firearms guru at my department when I first came on used that phrase, often. I hadn't heard that since he retired.

How many times will this shit have to take place before a CCW permit holder will be allowed to exercise such a privilege on a college campus?

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
I don't understand how anyone could ever get shot in what is clearly a "gun-free zone".

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
This is one for the books alright...
The shooter, apparently a disgruntled instructor not granted tenure, was very resentful toward those she blames for her dissapointment. In addition to this is the story that emerged yesterday that this same "Scholar" apparently skated in the "Accidental" shooting death of her younger brother twenty years ago. In Massachussets. With a handgun...
So a person who has already killed someone with a handgun (albeit deemed accidental at the time)is allowed on campus
while the legally vetted, and licensed to be armed, are not.
This constitutes rational thought in "big academia" to combat the threat of asymetric violence toward their students and faculty?

She shot her brother with a 12ga shotgun. The 9mm handgun was used on campus in the gun free zone.

Yep, and she "accidentally" shot her brother with that shotgun three times before managing to get her finger off the trigger. What with all the recoil and such, it can be hard to not keep squeezing over and over. Completely understandable reaction. Then she took flight from police. They were about to book for the real deal before mom called the station and said she was asking mom how to unload it when it accidentally went off.
Apparently, it was a Glock shotgun, and required pulling the trigger to strip. Totally accidental, so I don't see why it should have kept her from owning a gun later, let alone get locked up for a decade or three.

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
My mistake. Since it was a shotgun that accidentally went off three times, I can't understand why she isn't the new president of the universtiy...

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
I just learned that my former professor, Dr. Gopi Podila, was killed by this psycho. I worked in his lab for a year, a good man with two teenage daughters. Too bad someone wasn't packing to take care of her on the spot.

To bad it would make him a criminal to protect himself and the lives of the others in that room. Kinda a messed up law, don't you think?

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
The beast is linked to the attempted bombing of a Harvard professor; two pipe bombs were delivered to his home, they did not explode.
This is looking weirder by the day and there will be political ramifications to follow. We can expect considerable demand for concealed carry laws to be expanded as there is likely to be law suit pressure for expanded security and magnatometer screening for every classroom, lecture hall, library, and any other building on every campus in America.
If they won't allow us to provide for our own protection, they have a duty to provide it. As they clearly are not, why would they be any less liable for casualties than a city with heaving sidewalks, or a store with insufficent lighting in their parking lots.

Re: Shooting at University of Alabama
I caught a small blurb last night on the news about how a congressman is tied to the initial investigation of her brothers death, lots of lost paperwork, shoddy police reports, etc... Could(hopefully) spell trouble for him. Wasn't really paying too much attention so I don't remember his name. Another thing, this wacked ass bitch bowed down @ the altar of the big O (according to one of her students). I'm sure there will be a lot more good info coming soon, from one news source anyway(since only one REAL one remains).
