Former Alabama Univ. Professor Accused of Shooting 3 Colleagues Now Indicted in Brother's 24-year-old Murder!

The former Alabama university professor accused of shooting three of her colleagues in February has been indicted in the 1986 shooting death of her brother, CNN just reported. Amy Bishop is charged with first-degree murder in the killing of Seth Bishop, whose death was originally ruled an accident. He was 18 at the time.

According to the story, Amy Bishop's version of events from 1986 came under renewed scrutiny after she was arrested for the the February 12th shootings at the University of Alabama, a rampage that left 3 of her co-workers dead. At the time of Seth Bishop's death, a 21-year-old Amy had told authorities that a shotgun accidentally went off after she asked her brother to help her unload it.

In announcing the murder indictment, Norfolk District Attorney William Keating reportedly said "jobs weren't done, responsibilities were not met and justice was not served."


"Three individuals who were killed in Alabama may not have been."

Bishop is currently awaiting trial in Alabama on capital murder and attempted murder charges for the Feb. 12th incident.
