The Case History of Amy Bishop

From the Palm P750… somewhere outside Erie PA:

While passing time on the bus ride, I find an interesting report from Fox News:

More than 23 years before a college professor was accused of shooting six of her colleagues at an Alabama university, her teenage brother died from the blast of a shotgun she held in the kitchen of her family’s home in Massachusetts.

he 1986 shooting was ruled accidental and no charges were filed against Amy Bishop. The case could get a closer look as authorities try to explain why they believe the Harvard-educated neurobiologist opened fire Friday, killing three.

I suppose that I would be accused of lacking nuance to raise the obvious question of a connection between the two instances.
