There was a tragic shooting in the biology department around 4:00PM this afternoon. A total of 5 faculty members and 1 staff person were shot. There are 3 dead, 2 in critical condition and 1 in stable condition. The alleged shooter is a Harvard trained faculty member who was denied tenure today. The shooting occurred in a meeting of the biology faculty this afternoon. No students were present or involved. Suspected shooter is in custody.
So sad. UAH is a top notch University. Lots of pain here right now. Please pray for our community as well as the school.
