Doctor targeted by ‘93 mail bomb calls for comprehensive probe of Ala. campus shooting

Doc targeted by bomb calls for Ala. shooting probe

BOSTON — A Boston doctor who worked with the Alabama professor accused of killing three colleagues is calling for a thorough investigation of the shootings.

Dr. Paul Rosenberg released a statement Thursday through Children’s Hospital in Boston. He worked there with accused shooter Amy Bishop when he was targeted by a mail bomb in 1993.

Bishop and her husband were questioned in the bomb case but no one was ever charged. The bomb didn’t go off.

Rosenberg extended his deepest sympathies to those affected by last week’s shootings at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. Rosenberg said a comprehensive probe is important so that no one else will be victimized by such senseless violence.

Bishop’s husband, James Anderson, says he and his wife are innocent in the 1993 case.
