Anarchy In Alabaman Academia: Biologist Goes Ballistic

Uh-oh, it's no longer exclusively for students!

HUNTSVILLE, AL -- A biology professor is in custody in connection with three fatal shootings on the University of Alabama in Huntsville campus Friday afternoon, according to a UAH official.

LAT:  WHNT 19 News, a local TV station, reported that all victims were on the school's faculty. 

The Huntsville Times reports three people were killed and one injured. It occurred at a facility named the Shelby Center, after Sen. Richard Shelby, the Alabama Republican.

W/ ++extra locational irony.

We can't imagine any academics or the like would visit this Internet backwater, but if there were any, we'd hope they pat down their fellow eggheads before the next meeting. Is this what they mean about faculty disagreements being so vicious because the stakes are essentially zip?
