HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
Sunday marks two years since the deadly shootings at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Former UAH professor Amy Bishop-Anderson is charged with capital murder. She is accused of shooting six colleagues during a faculty meeting on February 12, 2010. Three of the victims died.
Nasiha Muna, a fifth-year UAH student, was a junior when the shooting happened. In the two years that followed, the biology and math major said she's inclined to put it behind her.
"You know as time goes by we tend to forget things and you just leave them in the past; especially if it's something tragic," Muna said.
UAH librarian James Primm Jr. was also on campus when the shooting happened. He and his co-workers don't discuss the shooting often but he said the experience brought the campus together.
"When it happened, there was a collective group effort where people were just really bonding. It was a connection because such a tragedy happened," Primm said.
UAH spokesperson Ray Garner said the school is constructing a north-south greenway through the university's campus. It will include a memory garden to pay tribute to the three faculty members who were killed that day. The project is scheduled to be completed by May 2013.
Bishop-Anderson has pleaded not guilty by reason of mental defect or disease.
Her trial is set for March 19th.
