February 23, 2010 (QUINCY) The Cape's congressman who was the top prosecutor when Amy Bishop shot her brother to death in 1986 says it was a "profound tragedy" that she did not receive a pyschiatric evaluation then.

William Delahunt was Norfolk district attorney when 21-year-old Bishop shot her 18-year-old brother at their Braintree home.

It was ruled an accident and Delahunt said there is nothing now to contradict that.

But he said state police assigned to his office weren't told that after Bishop shot her brother she allegedly threatened two auto shop workers with the gun, demanding a car, or that she aimed the gun at police.

Delahunt said if weapons charges had been brought, his office would have sought the evaluation.

Bishop is accused of killing three colleagues at the University of Alabama-Huntsville on Feb. 12.
