Amy Bishop pleads guilty in Alabama university killings (BBC)

A former US biologist has pleaded guilty to murdering three colleagues and wounding three others in a 2010 shooting rampage at a faculty meeting.

Former University of Alabama at Huntsville scientist Amy Bishop, 47, had previously pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

Bishop was said to have been angry at being denied tenure in the department.

Separately, Bishop has been charged in the 1986 shooting death of her brother, previously ruled an accident.

On Tuesday, the Harvard-trained biologist admitted one count of capital murder in the three deaths and three counts of attempted murder.
