A shooting in the parking lot of a Hoover shopping center involved a teen girl and is believed to have been self-inflicted, according to police.

Hoover police on Monday released new information about the 9 p.m. Sunday shooting at the Village of Lee Branch on Doug Baker Boulevard, near Panera Bread.

Lt. Daniel Lowe said police responded to the scene after officers in the area heard a gunshot and a female screaming for help.

They arrived to find the 16-year-old with a gunshot wound to the face. She was conscious, alert and talking to police when she was transported to the hospital.

Her injuries aren’t life-threatening.

Lowe said the girl’s father was there at the time of the shooting. He was detained, questioned, and released with no charges.

“While the investigation remains ongoing the preliminary indications are that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted,’’ Lowe said. “The victim continues to receive treatment at a local hospital, and because the case involves a juvenile no further information can be released at this time.”
