At least one person was killed and 11 others were wounded in a mass shooting in a popular tourist area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina on Saturday night.
Authorities said officers “observed a disturbance involving multiple individuals” at around 11:50 p.m. on North Ocean Boulevard, and one person began to fire a weapon.
An officer then responded by opening fire, and in the process, shot one person, who died from their injuries, according to police.
The shooting occurred near the Ripley’s Believe It Or Not just off the beach.
Dramatic video circulating on social media shows a person lying face down on the sidewalk being restrained by two officers.
A woman can be seen grabbing her leg and yelling as two officers appear to provide aid to her.
“I remember hearing gunfire shots just start going off everywhere,” eyewitness Michael Howard told ABC 15. “I remember seeing a girl fall that had been injured, I remember seeing the guy who had been shot fall to the ground.
“I seen blood everywhere. It was just very traumatizing,” he added.
