ATF files released on Monday shed some new light on the husband of  Alabama professor Amy Bishop who killed and wounded some of her co-workers after going on a shooting rampage.

The latest revolves around a 1993 incident in which two pipe bombs were mailed to the Newton home of Harvard professor Paul Rosenberg.

Rosenberg, a medical professor and doctor at Children’s Hospital in Boston, told investigators at the time he had a hand in making Bishop resign as a post doctoral research fellow at the hospital, the Boston Globe reported.

The released ATF files show that a witness told investigators that Bishop’s husband Jimmy E. Anderson Jr. had said he “wanted to get back at” the doctor by shooting, bombing, stabbing, or strangling him, the Globe reported.

Anderson and his wife were questioned, but never charged in the case.
