When the cops showed up Amy had fled with the shotgun and 3 shells, they retrieved the shell that had killed Seth but in the end Amy was off the hook when they called in a accident. In 1994 Amy threatened a collage with a pipe bomb, Amy was now married and had four children when this occurred. When police went to question her she refused until they broke her window and found the items in her house that were used to create the pipe bomb as well. They searched Amy's computer to find a novel she had been written about a sister who killed her brother, then tries to gain herself back by becoming a scientist. Even though all this occurred the only incident on Amy's record was a food fight at a local pancake house. On the day of the shooting Amy had cut class short and a student claims to have seen a silver cylinder which could have been the barrel of a gun in Amy's bag. Amy was dropped off by her husband around 3pm at the school for the meeting after a half and hour Amy pulled out a gun and started shooting, once she was done she ditched her gun in the bathroom and called her husband James Anderson for a ride home. She never left the school and was arrested by the cops in the parking lot. Amy had shot three people in the head, two in the chest and one in the face. Police recovered a 9mm handgun in the bathroom.At Bishops trial the lawyers claimed that Amy had never heard of a shooting and kept Asking if she still had a job.
