A biology professor was in custody Friday after a shooting at the University of Alabama-Huntsville campus that left three people dead and three others wounded, according to police and media reports.
Amy Bishop, a Harvard University-trained neuroscientist who was reportedly upset over being denied tenure, was taken into custody, and her husband was detained, local media reported, citing police and university sources and witnesses.
The mayhem occurred in a third-floor conference room of the Shelby Center, a 200,000-square-foot science building on campus. University of Alabama-Huntsville spokesman Ray Garner said a woman opened fire during an afernoon faculty meeting.
Three faculty members were killed and two faculty members and a staff member were injured, Garner said. Among the wounded, two men were in critical condition at a Huntsville hospital and a woman was in stable condition, WHNT-TV reported.
According to media reports, Bishop had been denied tenure Friday morning. She apparently returned to a campus faculty meeting in the afternoon and opened fire, university officials and witnesses told NBC station WAFF-TV.
It was unclear how many people were inside the conference room at the time. Garner said the suspected shooter was apprehended outside the building without incident.
