Ten people were shot during a fight that started on a private boat where a holiday weekend party was being held Sunday night on the South Carolina coast, authorities said. No one died in the shooting in Little River, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach, around 9:30pm, although some of the wounded were in critical condition, Horry County Police said in a statement. At least one person who was not hurt by gunfire was taken to the hospital, police said, per the AP. The shooting happened around a dock where a private charter boat leaves for cruises. The boat was docked and detectives are trying to figure out exactly where the fight and shooting began, police said.
A flyer online advertised a party Sunday night with a DJ on a three-hour cruise ending at 9pm. No arrests have been made as detectives continue to investigate. A North Myrtle Beach police officer responding to the shooting accidentally shot himself in the leg at a marina about 3 miles away and is in the hospital in stable condition, said a North Myrtle Beach rep.
