Is this bar on the main strip? Is this a "college bar" or is this a seedy night club?

this incident is currently being investigated as gang related violence. Unbeknownst to a lot of people, a few different motorcycle gangs have made their home in Tuscaloosa and Northport. They have been running methamphetamines through the city and are armed and very dangerous. These guys don't give a **** about anything. This incident, when it is all said and done, will lead back to one of those motorcycle gangs.

From article:

A man suspected in a mass shooting at a downtown bar early Tuesday morning is also suspected of setting fire to his former work place [Capstone Oil]. Nathan Wilkins is suspected of setting fire to Capstone Oil in Brookwood at 3 a.m. A Facebook page for a Nathan Wilkins of Northport who claims to work at Capstone Oil includes photos of a man with tattoos on his arms, posing with an assault rifle, and standing in front of a Confederate flag and making an obscene gesture at the camera. The page has since been taken down.

Flagship fan, most probably.
