An official with Amsterdam's Vrije University told Volkskrant, a newspaper in the Netherlands, it planned on firing George Zinkhan
Even though Zinkhan has not been convicted there were many witnesses to the shooting, VU spokesman Frank Snijders told Volkskrant.
The university posted a message on its Web site, writing in Dutch it was shocked by the report and "we only can guess at the motives of Mr. Zinkhan that we know as a calm and pardoned researcher."
In 2006 he was a guest faculty with the economic sciences and business administration and he was appointed in April 2007 as a part-time faculty member.
"The faculty knows him as a quiet, inspiring man and excellent scientist with a broad interest. He published works concerning electronic commerce, advertizing, innovation, marketing theory and international marketing," the message said.
