A biology professor denied tenure opened fire at the University of Alabama’s Huntsville campus Friday, killing three, according to police. Dr. Amy Bishop is suspected of shooting six victims in total at a faculty meeting this afternoon, leaving three dead and three others seriously wounded, university officials report. The Harvard-educated neuroscientist allegedly began shooting after she learned at the meeting that she would not be receiving tenure, according to a local NBC affiliate in Huntsville. Five of the reported victims were faculty members and one of the injured was reportedly a staff member. The University of Alabama was put on lockdown immediately and the suspect was detained outside of the campus building “without incident.”
