3 killed in Ala. college shooting, suspect in custody

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A woman opened fire during a biology faculty meeting at the University of Alabama's Huntsville campus Friday, killing three people and injuring at least one more.

The shooter was in custody, but university spokesman Ray Garner said he could not identify her or the victims. Local television stations reported she is a faculty member.

I am curious to hear CJ's take considering the circumstances. She certainly doesn't fit the profile of any prior mass shooting suspects.

Sly, before I ever read the article, I guessed the motive:
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — A University of Alabama biology professor accused of gunning down three of her colleagues during a faculty meeting had been denied tenure and only had months left teaching at the school, a university official said Saturday.

I guess that's one thing LU doesn't need to worry about, since tenure is off the table to begin with. :?
