from today's "Nature" and other news sources - Harvard alumna goes psycho
Amy Bishop, an Alabama University professor, Harvard graduate, killed 3 other faculty members at a briefing, injured several others... she flipped out after she was denied tenure. Now it's not only teenagers who do the killing, but Harvard folks as well.
The comical touch to is is that she shot her 18-year old brother when she was 21, and it was considered an accident, the case was closed back then. But fleeing from the place of accident, she also threatened some car's driver with a weapon to yield his car to her.
Hmm.
Another comical anecdote about her is that she "once stopped a local ice cream truck from coming into their neighborhood. According to WBZ-1030 radio, she said it because her own kids were lactose intolerant, and she didn't think it was fair that her kids couldn't have ice cream." Seems normal to me. If she lived in Germany nobody would have considered her strange!
