美阿拉巴马州亨茨维尔大学发生校园枪击案后，2名伤员被紧急送医治疗
最新美国传媒报道，开枪的是所学校的一名生物系女教授，她申请终身职位，但在当天下午生物系会议上获悉申请被拒后开枪。
美国阿拉巴马大学12日发生“教授枪击案”。一名女性教授开枪行凶，打死另外三名教授，并且重伤其他两名教授。事件发生后，当地警方迅速出动，很快就将枪手缉拿归案。据悉，没有学生在本次事件中受伤，只有一名学校工作人员被流弹击伤。

Prof. in custody in fatal shooting on Ala.
campus
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Authorities say a woman
opened fire during a faculty meeting at the
University of Alabama's Huntsville campus,
killing three biology professors and
injuring three other school employees.
University spokesman Ray Garner said the
shooter was caught outside the building
without incident, and no students were
harmed in the shooting Friday.
Several students identified the woman who
was being taken into custody as Amy Bishop,
an instructor and researcher at the
university. She was taken Friday night in
handcuffs from a police precinct to the
county jail and could be heard saying, "It
didn't happen. There's no way .... they are
still alive."
Local media also named the biology professor
as the suspected shooter, though Garner said
he could not identify her.
Police said no charges had been filed and
they were interviewing the woman suspect and
a man identified as "a person of interest."
Garner said the three killed were Gopi K.
Podila, the chairman of the Department of
Biological Sciences, and two other faculty
members, Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel
Johnson.
Two others are in critical condition, and a
third who was wounded was upgraded to fair
condition. The injured were identified as
department members Luis Cruz-Vera and Joseph
Leahy and staffer Stephanie Monticello.
Their specific conditions were not released.
Sammie Lee Davis said his wife, Maria
Ragland Davis, was a researcher who had
tenure at the university.
In a brief phone interview, he said he was
told his wife was at a meeting to discuss
the tenure status of another faculty member
who got angry and started shooting.
He said his wife had mentioned the shooter
before, describing the woman as "not being
able to deal with reality" and "not as good
as she thought she was."
Nick Lawton, the son of a biology professor
at the school, said his father was not among
the victims, but he did not know much more.
Lawton, 25, was exercising when a friend
phoned him to tell him about the shooting.
He called his father, Robert Lawton, and
found out that he was not hurt, then he let
rest of his family know.
"All I know is that my father is OK," Nick
Lawton told The Associated Press.
Sophomore Erin Johnson told The Huntsville
Times a biology faculty meeting was under
way when she heard screams coming from a
conference room.
University police secured the building and
students were cleared from it. There was
still a heavy police presence on campus
Friday night, with police tape cordoning off
the main entrance to the university.
The Huntsville campus has about 7,500
students in northern Alabama, not far from
the Tennessee line. The university is known
for its scientific and engineering programs
and often works closely with NASA.
The space agency has a research center on
the school's campus, where many scientists
and engineers from NASA's Marshall Space
Flight Center perform Earth and space
science research and development.
The university posted a message on its Web
site Friday afternoon telling students the
campus was closed Friday night and all
students were encouraged to go home.
Counselors were available to speak with
students.
It's the second shooting in a week on an
area campus. Last Friday, a 14-year-old
student was killed in a middle school
hallway in nearby Madison, allegedly by a
fellow student.
"This town is unaccustomed to shootings and
multiple deaths," Garner said.
