A late-night shooting in Northport left one person injured and another in jail, police confirmed on Thursday.

A 42-year-old victim there had been shot and was transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries that Sellers said were not life-threatening.

After interviewing witnesses and collecting physical evidence, police believe the victim and 45-year-old Robert Hollie have had an ongoing issue that resulted in a fight Wednesday night.

"During the altercation, Hollie pulled a handgun and shot the victim," Sellers said. "He was located later in Tuscaloosa."

Hollie was arrested and charged with one count of first-degree assault. He has been placed in the Tuscaloosa County Jail with no bond until a judge reviews his case and sets one.
