The families of Dr. Maria Ragland Davis and Dr. Adriel D. Johnson, Sr., both of whom were shot and killed during a staff meeting at the University of Alabama Huntsville on February 12, 2010, filed separate wrongful death lawsuits today, in the Circuit Court for Madison County in Huntsville, against Amy Bishop, James Anderson and Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs of University Alabama Huntsville, Dr. Vistasp M. Kharbari (case nos. 47-CV-2011-900037.00 (Davis) and 47-CV-2011-900038.00 (Johnson). The suits seek to hold the UAH Provost responsible for the failure by him and likely other UAH administrators to abide by mandatory life-safety regulations that would have prevented Dr. Bishop from gunning down co-workers at a staff meeting. In addition to Dr. Karbhari, the lawsuit names Dr. Bishop and her husband, James Anderson.
