Details remain scant following a shooting incident that left at least eleven individuals injured on Sunday night near a dock in Little River, South Carolina.
Among the injured was a police officer who inadvertently shot himself in the leg and is now in stable condition.
Witnesses reported a chaotic scene as a crowd scattered into the nearby waterway amidst the gunfire, which erupted around 10 PM.
As per claims circulating on the Citizen app, police have described the shooter as a man in his 20s, clad in black, who opened fire from the dock. Interestingly, the media has refrained from labeling this incident as a mass shooting or elaborating on the suspect’s description. One might wonder if the particulars of the incident, including the shooter’s race, fail to align with prevailing narratives.
Speculation on social media suggests that a party boat featured in a video might have some connection to the shooting, though this remains unverified.
Authorities have categorized the shooting as an âisolated incident,â yet they have not disclosed further details regarding potential suspects or motives.
According to the Daily Mail:
Horry County Fire Rescue transported at least 11 individuals to local hospitals, although it remains unclear how many were shot.
Reports suggest that several additional victims may have been taken to hospitals via personal vehicles.
Community members are advised to steer clear of the area as it continues to be an active scene.
The HCPD reassured the public in an 11 PM update that they consider this shooting an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the community.
This story is still developing.
