Authorities said a female faculty member during a Biology faculty meeting learned she would not receive tenure. She then pulled out a gun and started shooting.
Tenure in this case refers to a senior academic's contractual right not to have their position terminated without just cause.
Police also have the alleged shooter's husband in custody. He has not been formally charged with anything.
UA-Huntsville spokesman, Ray Garner, confirmed three people were killed and three injured.
Apparently, the shooter, Harvard-educated Amy Bishop, brought a gun to the meeting because she suspected that she was going to be denied tenure.
