Already under arrest for capital murder in the shooting of three colleagues including Indian American Gopi K. Podila, three new charges of attempted murder have been added against a woman

professor.

Dr. Amy Bishop, 45, a Harvard-trained neuroscientist, is charged with killing three colleagues during a faculty meeting at the University of Alabama Huntsville's biological sciences department,

and wounding three more, two of them critically.

Talking to the Chronicle of Higher Education on Sunday, Bishop's husband, James Anderson, said that he had no idea his wife had a gun, nor did he know of any plans to carry out the shooting

when he dropped her off at a faculty meeting on Friday. Anderson said his wife had an attorney but would not say who it was. Just after the shooting, she called and asked him to pick her up,

Anderson told the Chronicle. She never mentioned the shooting, he said.

Maria Ragland Davis, 50, a professor who studied plant pathogens; and Adriel Johnson, 52, a cell biologist who also taught Boy Scouts about science were the two other killed besides 52 years

old Podila, who was the chairman of the biology department.

Two of the wounded who were in critical condition were Joseph Leahy, 50, a microbiologist, and Stephanie Monticciolo, 62, a staff assistant., both of whom were in. The third was Luis Cruz-

Vera, 40, a molecular biologist, who was released from the hospital on Saturday.

Hundreds of faculty, students and friends attended a prayer vigil at the University Centre Earlier Sunday, reciting prayers for peace from five different religions, singing "Let There Be Peace on

Earth," and reading a statement from the student body in support of faculty members. (With Input from Agencies)
