Ala University Shooting

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — Attorneys representing the families of those killed in a shooting rampage last year at an Alabama university say they are suing a school official.

The lawsuits seek to hold the University of Alabama-Huntsville's provost responsible for failing to abide by regulations that the families say would have prevented the shootings.

Authorities say biology professor killed three colleagues and wounded three others in February 2010 during a staff meeting. Bishop has been charged with capital murder in the shootings.

The families of two of those killed, Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel D. Johnson Sr., filed the lawsuits.

Bishop and her husband, James Anderson, also are defendants in the lawsuit.

Bishop's behavior the day of the shootings doesn't interest me as much as her violent past. Given her history of violence, why was this woman permitted to work with students?
