TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- An Arab-American shot outside a Tuscaloosa restaurant is out of the hospital. 27-year-old Nabil Chagri was in his van with his wife and children outside the Quick Grill Thursday night when a man fired shots into the vehicle. Chagri was shot in the head and back. His wife and children were not injured.
Police charged 23-year-old Jason Michael Gardner of Northport with attempted murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle. Meanwhile, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is looking into whether the shooting should have been a hate crime. Gardner, who made his first court appearance yesterday, did not enter a plea and remains jailed in lieu of $130,00. Copyright 2006 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
