TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- A man survived a gunshot wound to the head outside the Cobb Hollywood 16 movie theater in Tuscaloosa Saturday night, according to police.

Units responded to the theater at 9:24 p.m. after receiving reports that shots had been fired in the parking lot. They located a young male with a gunshot wound to the head inside the theater lobby.

The man was transported to Druid City Hospital in Tuscaloosa, where he is currently being treated for non-life threatening injuries, what police referred to as a grazing wound to the head.

The victim, who Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steven Anderson said is "alive and well," is talking to investigators and has given names of suspects involved in the shooting.

What is it about movie theaters that invite violence? I remember once when I went to that bar in McFarland Mall with a friend in the early nineties. I headed outside to get a pack of cigarettes out of my car. There was a riot-type situation in the mall. People were running feverishly toward the exit. It was because someone had been shot. I don't remember if the person died or not, but I remember the paramedics loading the person into the ambulance.
