Amy Bishop was so angry she was not granted tenure that she killed three co-workers (” ‘Slay’ Prof Killed Brother in ’86,” Feb. 15).

Well, she will definitely get her tenure now — at Alabama’s state prison.

The tragedy of the shooting of six and the death of three people at the University of Alabama leads me to believe that people’s reaction to getting terminated from jobs is getting more and more violent.

Maybe there should be security at faculty meetings like the one at which Bishop shot her colleagues. It’s not professional, but if lives are at stake, professionalism can take a back seat.

The damage to schools or businesses involved in these kinds of incidences is devastating.

Is Bishop’s action the start of a trend or just an anomaly? Women rarely are workplace shooters or mass murderers, but that may be changing due to the stresses of modern-day life.

Lately, females have even participated in suicide bombings in Iraq, once considered almost exclusively the domain of men.

Maybe women have taken their quest for equality into the unlikeliest of places — the world of violence.
