Shooting At Another Movie Theater

Police in Greensboro, N.C., are investigating a shooting in the lobby of a multplex Friday that left a man wounded, but couldn't say whether there was a connection between the shooting and Fox Searchlight's biopic "Notorious," which follows the life of rap artist Christopher Wallace, a.k.a., Biggie Smalls and Notorious B.I.G.

Rapper and actor Jamal "Gravy" Woolard, who plays B.I.G. in the film, was in the theater at the time of the shooting, police and witnesses said. 

For now, the theater is pulling all shows of "Notorious" until further notice, according to press reports, although it could be playing again as soon as Sunday.

"We can't say whether or not this shooting is in direct relationship to the movie 'Notorious' B.I.G. We just can't say," a police spokesman told the Greensboro News-Record. 

This is the second shooting at a theater in the last month. On Christmas Eve, a Philadelphia man watching "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" shot someone after a brawl ensued over talking too loudly.
