This police booking photograph released by the Huntsville, Ala., Police Deptartment shows Bishop.

On the day she shot her brother in 1986, Bishop left her home and burst into a car dealership, pointing her shotgun at employees, including former mechanic Tom Pettigrew.

“I yelled, ‘What are you doing?’ and she screamed at me to put my hands up. So I put my hands up," Pettigrew, 45, said in an interview at his home in Quincy.

Pettigrew recalled that Bishop said she had had a fight with her husband and he was going to come after her, so she needed a getaway car. Pettigrew said that Braintree police briefly questioned him and several other employees, but authorities never contacted him again.
