(CNN) -- Three people were killed and at least one was wounded Friday in a shooting at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a spokesman for the university said.
A female shooting suspect was in custody, said the spokesman, Ray Garner.
A spokeswoman for Huntsville Hospital said it had received three patients in critical condition from the shooting.
Trent Willis, chief of staff to Mayor Tommy Battle, said the incident occurred about 4:15 p.m. in Shelby Hall, which police were still searching.
"We do have some witnesses," he said.
The 6-year-old, $60 million facility houses the Chemistry Department and is named for U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama and his wife, Dr. Annette Shelby.

the shooter is female? and she didn't kill herself?

 

[Paroxysm]

Female shooter? Must have been a grudge.

 

[Raiden]

Sigh, more school shooting.

I'm hearing on the news down here that she was denied tenure by the school this morning and that was her motive for doing this. What the f***...

I'm surprised she didn't kill herself. I've heard her husband has been detained by police also.

Why is everyone suprised she didn't kill herself? Woman don't usually commit suicide by handgun anways, they usually take sleeping pills or something like that. Plus this isn't your typical shooting either. It wasn't a suicide mission, she was just really pissed off.

For ****s sake another one?!?!?!?

Sigh

The way you're all talking about it due to her being female, it's like you're implying she was justified because it was her time of the month or something. If it was a dude, I'd want him to be strung up, and the same applies to her.

This happened at the college I graduated from 3 years ago. I had a few friends in class when this happened.

The story is, Dr Bishop was informed this morning she was not getting tenured. This is believed to be the catalyst for her taking a handgun to a biology staff meeting where she opened fire.

This is pretty crazy for this area. Just last week we had the middle school shooting in my home town, and now just a few minutes away, a shooting at a college.

My prayers go out to all those that lost someone.

The solution to these non-stop shootings is pretty obvious: Home Schooling For Everyone.

Chief: Ala. prof held in 3 killings shot Mass. kin\

BRAINTREE, Mass. – An Alabama university professor accused of fatally shooting three colleagues at a faculty meeting this week shot her younger brother dead at their home in the Boston suburbs more than 20 years ago, but records of it are missing, police said Saturday.
Amy Bishop shot her teenage brother in the chest in 1986, Braintree police Chief Paul Frazier said at a news conference. Bishop fired at least three shots, hitting her brother in the chest, and then fled with the shotgun before police took her into custody at gunpoint, he said.
Before Bishop, who was 19 at the time, could be booked the police chief back then called officers and told them to release her to her mother, Frazier said. The shooting of the brother, Seth Bishop, an 18-year-old accomplished violinist, was logged that day as a "sudden death" and later considered accidental, but detailed records of the shooting have disappeared, Frazier said.
"The report's gone, removed from the files," he said.
The police chief said Saturday that he planned to meet with the local district attorney over the possibility of launching a criminal investigation into how the case was handled.
The police chief in 1986, John Polio, said Saturday in an interview at his Braintree home that he was astonished at any implication of a coverup. He said he didn't instruct officers to release Bishop and wasn't close to her mother.
"(There's) no coverup, no missing records," Polio said.
A University of Alabama at Huntsville spokesman said Bishop, who's in her 40s, had been denied tenure before she was held Friday in the campus shooting.
As Bishop was being taken to jail in handcuffs she said: "It didn't happen. There's no way."
Attempts by The Associated Press to track down addresses and phone numbers for Bishop's family in the Braintree area weren't immediately successful Saturday. Polio's wife said she believed the Bishop family had moved away.
