Dr. Amy Bishop Anderson was know for being a volatile and difficult person, who at the age of 21 had shot and killed her brother “accidentally”.

Many of her students at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, did not like her and felt she was a poor professor, and her colleagues also complained about her, leading to a denial of tenure for Amy and a confirmation that her contract would not be renewed after her 6th year end.

A month before she was to vacate her position at the school, Amy showed up and taught class as normal, before attending a department meeting that evening. For 40 minutes Amy sat, gun in hand, before standing and executing her fellow co-workers one by one.
