Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

Huntsville Shooting

Post by hurstshifter »

I heard on the news that there was a school shooting at the University of Alabama:Huntsville. I seemed to remember that this is where Falco and possibly others on this board attend college (I may be wrong) and was hoping that no one you guys know was involved. No matter what the case, its a shame.

Yep.

Kendall, Peter, and I all attend UAH. Peter and I don't have classes on Friday, and Kendall is at work this semester. But yeah, I have friends who were at the Shelby Center during the shooting. That's the biggest building on campus--all of the science/math classes are there--good thing I got my general education classes out of the way early, eh?

But seriously, it was some crazy ass Biology teacher who decided to shoot up the other biology professors during a faculty meeting, because she wasn't getting tenured. The woman had a phD, AND was apparently a pretty prestigious biologist. The university pulled her profile from their site immediately, but you can check out Google's cache to learn about her.

Everybody that I know who has had her (Amy Bishop) said she was a crazy bitch.
