On the day of the shooting, Bishop taught her anatomy and neurosciences class at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH). A student later said Bishop "seemed perfectly normal" during the lecture. Bishop then attended a biology department faculty meeting on the third floor of the Shelby Center for Science and Technology. According to witnesses, 12 or 13 people attended the meeting, which was described as "an ordinary faculty meeting". Bishop's behavior was also described as "normal" just before the shooting.

Bishop sat quietly at the meeting for 30 to 40 minutes before pulling out a Ruger P95 9mm handgun just before 4:00 p.m. A witness said that she "got up suddenly, took out a gun and started shooting at each one of us. She started with the one closest to her, and went down the row shooting her targets in the head." Another survivor said, "This wasn't random shooting around the room; this was execution style." Those who were shot were on one side of the oval table; the five on the other side dropped to the floor.

After Bishop had fired several rounds, Debra Moriarity, a biochemistry professor, said that she pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger, but heard only a "click", as her gun "either jammed or ran out of ammunition". She described Bishop as initially appearing "angry", then "perplexed". Joseph Ng, an associate professor, said Moriarity attempted to stop Bishop by approaching her and asking her to stop, and helped the other survivors push Bishop from the room and block the door. Ng said, "Moriarity was probably the one that saved our lives. She was the one that initiated the rush."

The suspected murder weapon was found in a bathroom on the second floor of the science building. Bishop did not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon. She was arrested a few minutes later outside the building. Shortly after her arrest, Bishop was quoted as saying, "It didn't happen. There's no way." When asked about the deaths of her colleagues, Bishop replied, "There's no way. They're still alive."

Police interviewed Bishop's husband, Jimmy Anderson, after it was determined that she had called him to pick her up after the shooting; they did not charge him. The couple were seen leaving their home with duffel bags on Friday afternoon before the shooting. Anderson said that Bishop had borrowed the gun used in the shooting and that he had escorted her to an indoor shooting range in the weeks before the incident.

Shortly after Bishop's arrest, there was concern that she had "booby trapped the science building with a 'herpes bomb{{' "}} intended to spread the virus. She had worked with the herpes virus during her postdoctoral studies, and had written a novel describing the spread of a virus similar to herpes throughout the world. The police had already searched the premises, finding only the murder weapon.

Three faculty members were killed and three others injured. Only a few students were in the building at the time of the shooting, and none were harmed. A memorial service was held at UAH on February 19, 2010, with 3,000 people in attendance.

Amy Bishop (born April 24, 1965; age 44 at the time of the shooting) is married to Jimmy "James" Anderson and is the mother of four children. She grew up in Massachusetts, attended Braintree High School,{{cite web|first=Kristal|last=Hawkins|title=A Promising Start to an Academic Life—or to a Life of Violence?

She earned her Ph.D. in genetics from Harvard University.

Bishop's 1993 dissertation at Harvard was titled "The role of methoxatin (PQQ) in the respiratory burst of phagocytes".{{cite web|first=Amy|last=Bishop|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7G5lHwAACAAJ|title=The role of methoxatin (PQQ) in the respiratory burst of phagocytes|website=Google Books|year=1993|access-date=May 31, 2021|archive-date=April 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421002439/https://books.google.com/books?id=7G5lHwAACAAJ|url-status=live}} Her research interests included induction of adaptive resistance to nitric oxide in the central nervous system and utilization of motor neurons for the development of neural circuits grown on biological computer chips. An anonymous source at Harvard said that Bishop's work was of poor quality and undeserving of a doctoral degree, calling it "local scandal No. 1".{{r|keefe20130211}}

Bishop joined the faculty of UAH's Department of Biological Sciences as an assistant professor in 2003; she was teaching five courses before the shooting. Previously, she was an instructor at Harvard Medical School. She and her husband's "portable cell incubator" came in third in a technology competition, winning $25,000.{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/before-ala-prof-marred-by-violent-past/|title=Before Ala., Prof Marred by Violent Past|date=February 13, 2010|website=CBS News|access-date=October 24, 2010|archive-date=February 5, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110205051210/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/02/13/national/main6204558.shtml|url-status=live}} Prodigy Biosystems, where Anderson is employed, raised $1.25 million to develop the automated cell incubator. UAH president David Williams considered that the incubator would "change the way biological and medical research is conducted",{{r|keefe20130211}} but some scientists consulted by the press declared it unnecessary and too expensive.

Bishop, a second cousin of the novelist John Irving, had written three unpublished novels. One featured a woman scientist working to defeat a pandemic virus, and struggling with suicidal thoughts at the prospect of not earning tenure. According to an article in The New Yorker, the novels reportedly "reveal a deep preoccupation with the concept of deliverance from sin".{{r|keefe20130211}} Bishop was a member of the Hamilton Writer's Group while living in Ipswich, Massachusetts, in the late 1990s and was said to believe that writing would be "her ticket out of academia". Members of the club said she "would frequently cite her Harvard degree and family ties to Irving to boost her credential as a serious writer". Another member described her as smart but abrasive in her interactions and as feeling "entitled to praise". Bishop had a literary agent but had not published any books.

Several colleagues had expressed concern over Bishop's behavior. She was described as interrupting meetings with "bizarre tangents{{nbsp}}... left-field kind of stuff",{{Full citation needed|date=September 2024}} "strange",{{Full citation needed|date=September 2024}} and "crazy".{{Full citation needed|date=September 2024}} One of these colleagues was a member of Bishop's tenure review committee. After her tenure was denied and she learned that this colleague had called her "crazy",{{Full citation needed|date=September 2024}} Bishop filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), alleging sex discrimination, citing the professor's remark as possible evidence. The professor did not retract his comments:

The professor was given the opportunity to back off the claim, or to say it was a flippant remark. But he didn't. "I said she was crazy multiple times and I stand by that", the professor said. "This woman has a pattern of erratic behavior. She did things that weren't normal ... she was out of touch with reality."

Bishop was reportedly a poor instructor and unpopular among her students. She dismissed several graduate students from her lab, and others sought transfers out.{{r|keefe20130211}} In 2009, several UAH students said they complained to administrators about Bishop on at least three occasions, saying she was "ineffective in the classroom and had odd, unsettling ways". A petition signed by "dozens of students" was sent to the department head. The complaints did not result in any classroom changes. Also in 2009, Bishop published an article in a vanity-press medical journal listing her husband and three minor children as co-authors.[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704398804575071840603288512 "After Slayings, University Tries to Regroup"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903193730/https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748704398804575071840603288512 |date=September 3, 2017 }}, The Wall Street Journal The article was later removed from the journal website.[http://eprints.rclis.org/14576/ "Predatory" Open-Access Scholarly Publishers] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130217181246/http://eprints.rclis.org/14576/ |date=February 17, 2013 }}, The Charleston Advisor 11.4.

As explained by Williams, the university president, given that Bishop had been denied tenure in March 2009, she could not expect to have her teaching contract renewed after March 2010. She appealed the decision to UAH's administration. Without reviewing the content of the tenure application, it determined that the process was carried out according to policy and denied the appeal. The routine faculty meeting at which Bishop opened fire was unrelated to her tenure.

Bishop's husband said the denial of tenure had been "an issue" in recent months and described the tenure process as "a long, basically hard fight". He said that it was his understanding that Bishop "exceeded the qualifications for tenure" and that she was distressed at the likelihood of losing her position barring a successful appeal. She approached members of the University of Alabama System's board of trustees, and hired a lawyer who was "finding one problem after another with the process". One point of dispute was whether two of her papers had been published in time to count toward tenure. Bishop, who gave more weight to obtaining patents than publishing papers, reportedly received several warnings that she needed to have more publications in order to receive tenure.{{r|keefe20130211}}

On December 9, 1986, Bishop, then 21 years old, fatally shot her 18-year-old brother Seth at their home in Braintree, Massachusetts. She fired two shots from a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun{{r|keefe20130211}} (one into her bedroom wall and one into Seth's chest). Later, she pointed the gun at a moving vehicle on the adjacent road and tried to get into the vehicle.

Bishop and her mother told police the shooting had been an accident. Police found a live round in the gun's chamber, meaning that Bishop must have racked its slide after shooting her brother.{{r|keefe20130211}} After a brief inquiry into the incident by the Massachusetts State Police in 1986 (reported in 1987), they repeated the Braintree police department's initial assessment that the shooting was accidental. Then-Norfolk County District Attorney Bill Delahunt, later elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, did not file charges. Detailed records of the shooting had disappeared by 1988. Braintree police chief Paul Frazier said on February 13, 2010, "The report's gone, removed from the files."

After speaking with officers involved with the case in 1986, Frazier called the "accident" description inaccurate. He and others said that then-chief John Polio had ordered Bishop released to her mother Judy,{{r|keefe20130211}} who was allegedly a political supporter of the chief as a member of the Braintree town council.{{r|keefe20130211}}{{r|New look}} They said that Bishop had demanded to meet with Polio personally after the arrest{{cite news|last=Aicardi|first=Robert|title=19 witnesses testified at Amy Bishop inquest|url=http://www.wickedlocal.com/braintree/features/x57954626/19-witnesses-testified-at-Amy-Bishop-inquest|access-date=February 5, 2011|newspaper=Braintree Forum|date=April 16, 2010|archive-date=November 11, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111081645/http://www.wickedlocal.com/braintree/features/x57954626/19-witnesses-testified-at-Amy-Bishop-inquest|url-status=live}}{{r|keefe20130211}} instead of being charged for the shooting. Frazier was not on duty during the incident but recalled "how frustrated the members of the department were over the release" of Bishop.

Other officers, Frazier said, believed that Polio had "fix[ed] a murder", resulting in what he described as "a miscarriage of justice. Just because it was a friend of his."{{cite magazine | url=http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/02/11/130211fa_fact_keefe?currentPage=all | title=A Loaded Gun | magazine=The New Yorker | date=February 11, 2013 | access-date=February 6, 2013 | first=Patrick Radden | last=Keefe | authorlink=Patrick Radden Keefe | archive-date=February 5, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130205231856/http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2013/02/11/130211fa_fact_keefe?currentPage=all | url-status=live }} The retired Polio denied that there had been a cover-up. Frazier's 2010 account and the 1987 Massachusetts State Police report differ in several key details, including whether Bishop had been arguing with her brother or with her father before the shooting.

On February 16, 2010, Braintree officials announced that the files previously missing had been found. Then-Norfolk County District Attorney Bill Keating – who was himself elected to the House of Representatives later that year to replace Delahunt – concluded that probable cause existed in 1986 to arrest and charge Bishop for crimes committed after she fled the house. She had taken the shotgun to a nearby auto dealership shop and brandished it at two employees in an attempt to get a car. Bishop could have been charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a dangerous weapon, and unlawful possession of ammunition. The statute of limitations had expired on these charges.

The most serious charge considered in 1986 was manslaughter for the death of her brother. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick ordered the state police to review their investigation, saying, "It is critical that we provide as clear an understanding as possible about all aspects of this case and its investigation to ensure that where mistakes were made they are not repeated in the future." An investigation was opened in which the state cooperated with the Norfolk County District Attorney's office to assess the handling of the case by the state, the local police, and the then-district attorney.

On February 25, 2010, Keating sent District Court Judge Mark Coven a letter to start a judicial inquest into the 1986 shooting. Keating said that recently enlarged crime scene photos from Bishop's bedroom reveal a news article in which a similar crime was reported. He speculated that this article may relate to Bishop's intent. Keating did not identify the specific news article, but The Boston Globe wrote that an Internet search revealed that "two weeks earlier, the parents of Patrick Duffy, the actor who played Bobby Ewing on the popular television show Dallas, were killed in Montana by an assailant wielding a 12-gauge shotgun, who then held up a car dealership, stole a pickup truck, and fled".

On March 1, 2010, Detective Brian Howe, the state police's lead investigator in the 1986 shooting, said he looked forward to addressing the judicial inquest and stood by his 1987 report. He had agreed with Captain Theodore Buker, the late Braintree lead investigator, that the shooting was accidental. Howe said he was assigned to the case nearly two hours after the shooting and immediately called Braintree police. Buker told him that he would not be needed that day and that Bishop had already been released into her parents' custody. Howe said that Braintree police never informed him that she had later allegedly accosted employees at a car dealership at gunpoint, demanding a car. He said that he repeatedly requested the December 6 incident reports from the Braintree police, but never received them.

On March 1, 2010, Keating announced that an inquest would be held on April 13–16, 2010. Judge Coven, first justice of Quincy District Court, was scheduled to hold the inquest.{{cite news|first=Joe|last=Dwinell|work=Boston Herald|title=Seth Bishop death inquest to open|url=http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1239131|date=March 12, 2010|access-date=March 12, 2010|format=Fee required|archive-date=July 24, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724180441/http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1239131|url-status=live}} During the inquest, Braintree police officers testified that Judy Bishop had asked for Polio by name before the officers were ordered to release Amy Bishop. Judy, Polio, and his wife all testified that Judy and Polio had not been friends, and Judy denied that she had asked for Polio at the station.{{r|keefe20130211}}

On June 16, 2010, Amy Bishop was charged with first degree murder in her brother's death, nearly 24 years after his shooting. Keating commented, "I can't give you any explanations, I can't give you excuses, because there are none. Jobs weren't done, responsibilities weren't met and justice wasn't served."{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/06/16/us/AP-US-Ala-University-Shooting.html|title=Professor Charged in Brother's Death|first1=Denise|last1=Lavoie|first2=Jay|last2=Reeves|first3=Andrew|last3=Miga|date=June 16, 2010|work=The New York Times|agency=Associated Press|access-date=June 16, 2010|archive-date=April 21, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220421002440/https://www.nytimes.com/favicon.ico|url-status=live}} Bishop's parents, who claim that the Braintree officers lied about the events at the station, issued a statement after the indictment. They wrote, "We cannot explain or even understand what happened in Alabama. However, we know that what happened 23 years ago to our son, Seth, was an accident."{{r|keefe20130211}}

The protagonist of the first of Bishop's unpublished novels is a woman who, as a child, attempted to frighten a friend after an argument but accidentally killed the friend's brother. Patrick Radden Keefe speculated, after reviewing the evidence, that Bishop had meant to frighten or shoot her father with the shotgun after an argument and mistook her brother for him. "I came to believe that there had indeed been a coverup" between Bishop's parents and Polio, he wrote, "but that it had been an act not of conspiracy but of compassion ... a parochial gesture of mercy and denial that had an incalculable cost, decades later, in Alabama."{{r|keefe20130211}}

In 1993, Bishop and her husband were suspected of sending two letter-bombs, which failed to explode, to Paul Rosenberg, a Harvard Medical School professor. Rosenberg was Bishop's supervisor at a Children's Hospital neurobiology lab and had given a negative evaluation of Bishop, who resigned from her position. Bishop was afterward said to be "on the verge of a nervous breakdown", and her husband reportedly said that he wanted to "shoot", "stab", or "strangle" Rosenberg.

The investigation was closed with no charges filed. After the Huntsville shootings the case was reviewed, but it remains unsolved.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2010/09/30/us/AP-US-Ala-University-Shooting-Pipe-Bombs.html?ref=us|title=Ala.

On March 16, 2002, Bishop was involved in a fight with another customer at an IHOP restaurant in Peabody, Massachusetts. The other customer had taken the last available booster seat at the restaurant, leading Bishop to confront her; when the woman refused to give up the seat, Bishop punched her in the head while yelling, "I am Dr. Amy Bishop!" Bishop pleaded guilty to assault and received probation; prosecutors recommended that she attend anger management classes, but her husband said she never went.

After the Huntsville shooting, Bishop was charged with one count of capital murder and three counts of attempted murder. The police confiscated her computer, her family's minivan, and a large binder containing documents pertaining to her "tenure battle". She secured an unnamed attorney and was held at Madison County jail without bail. Her court-appointed attorney was Roy W. Miller. Prosecutors said from the outset that they would seek the death penalty.[http://blog.al.com/breaking/2011/05/prosecutors_to_seek_death_pena.html Prosecutors to seek death penalty for accused UAH shooter Amy Bishop] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806040215/http://blog.al.com/breaking/2011/05/prosecutors_to_seek_death_pena.html |date=August 6, 2016 }} http://blog.al.com {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161207163344/http://blog.al.com/ |date=2016-12-07 }} May 25, 2011 According to state law, Bishop was eligible for either the death penalty or life in prison.

On February 15, during a closed-door hearing presided over by an Alabama judge, the charges were read to Bishop. After the hearing, Bishop was on suicide watch, a standard procedure in such cases. Her husband said she called him before her arraignment and they spoke for approximately two minutes. He said, "She seems to be doing OK." On March 12, while executing a search warrant on Bishop's residence, the police discovered a "suspicious device" prompting an evacuation of the nearby neighborhood; it was later identified by the bomb squad as non-explosive.

Miller visited Bishop in jail and said Bishop did not remember the shooting and was "very cogent" but seemed to recognize that "she has a loose grip on reality". Initially, he said Bishop had severe mental health issues that appear to be paranoid schizophrenia, but later retracted that statement, saying "he had spoken out of turn". In February 2013, Bishop told Keefe that she was being treated for paranoid schizophrenia with haloperidol.The New Yorker, [http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/02/11/a-loaded-gun A loaded gun] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160421234008/http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/02/11/a-loaded-gun |date=April 21, 2016 }}, February 11 & 18 issue, 2013. Miller told a reporter for The New York Times, "This is not a whodunit. This lady has committed this offense or offenses in front of the world. It gets to be a question in my mind of her mental capacity at the time, or her mental state at the time that these acts were committed." Miller said he would enlist the help of one or more psychiatrists to examine his client, who said this was not the first time she had no recollection of something that had happened. He said he did not know if Bishop was insane; determining whether she was culpable for her actions would be left to a psychiatrist. He did say that she was "very sorry for what she's done."

On June 18, two days after Bishop was indicted for the murder of her brother in a reopened case, she attempted suicide in Huntsville jail.{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/20/us/20bishop.html?ref=us|title=Professor Accused in Killings Is Said to Attempt Suicide|date=June 19, 2010|work=The New York Times|access-date=June 20, 2010|archive-date=November 7, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161107080919/http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/20/us/20bishop.html?ref=us|url-status=live}} She survived and was treated at a hospital and then returned to jail; her husband complained that authorities did not inform him of the incident.

In November 2010, survivors Leahy and Monticciolo filed lawsuits against Bishop and Anderson to recover damages. In January 2011, attorneys representing Davis's and Johnson's families filed wrongful death lawsuits against Bishop, Anderson, and UAH.{{cite news|url=http://blog.al.com/breaking/2010/11/uah_shooting_survivors_file_la.html|title=UAH shooting survivors file lawsuit against Amy Bishop and her husband|date=November 16, 2010|work=The Huntsville Times|access-date=January 14, 2011|archive-date=November 21, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101121001107/http://blog.al.com/breaking/2010/11/uah_shooting_survivors_file_la.html|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://www.necn.com/01/14/11/Ala-Huntsville-victims-families-file-law/landing_nation.html?&blockID=3&apID=5bde66efd4d94ca68d7ca62a2611d420|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130130015006/http://www.necn.com/01/14/11/Ala-Huntsville-victims-families-file-law/landing_nation.html?&blockID=3&apID=5bde66efd4d94ca68d7ca62a2611d420|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 30, 2013|title=Ala.-Huntsville victims' families file lawsuits|date=January 14, 2011|work=NECN.com|access-date=January 14, 2011}} In September 2011, Bishop pleaded not guilty by means of the insanity defense.{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2016284360_apusalauniversityshooting.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130130040852/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/nationworld/2016284360_apusalauniversityshooting.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 30, 2013|title=Former professor pleads not guilty in Ala shooting|work=Seattle Times|date=September 22, 2011|agency=Associated Press|access-date=October 14, 2011}}

In 2012, the spouse of one of the murdered researchers wrote a letter to the judge presiding over the case.

Upon receiving this offer, chief prosecutor Robert Broussard contacted and learned from the nine survivors that none of them wanted a death sentence for Bishop. On the basis of these opinions, Broussard decided not to seek the death penalty. Bishop then changed her plea to guilty.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}}

On September 24, 2012, Bishop was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Norfolk County declined to seek her extradition.

After pleading guilty in September 2012 and waiving her right to appeal, Bishop filed an appeal on February 11, 2013. The appeal stated that she was not informed of the rights she would be waiving by pleading guilty, that she was not correctly informed of the minimum range of punishment, and that the circuit court failed to explain that she could withdraw her plea. On April 26, 2013, the Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama rejected the appeal, holding that Bishop failed to challenge the validity of her guilty pleas in the circuit court and did not file either a motion to withdraw her pleas or a motion for a new trial.Court of Criminal Appeals, State of Alabama, [https://acis.alabama.gov/displaydocs.cfm?no=495938&event=3RR0U6A0X Amy Bishop Anderson v.
