At least 11 people were hospitalized Sunday night in a shooting at a South Carolina beach town, police said.

The Horry County Police Department mentioned that more victims might have been transported to medical facilities by private vehicles following the gunfire in Little River. The conditions of those injured remain unknown.

Police described the investigation as “active” and “ongoing.”

“Community members are advised to steer clear of the area as public safety personnel do their work,” police said.

In a separate update, Myrtle Beach police reported that a North Myrtle Beach officer responding to the shooting incident accidentally discharged his firearm. The officer sustained a leg injury and was stabilized in a hospital, according to the department’s statement.

Authorities confirmed the shooting occurred just before 10 p.m. and was confined to its initial location near the Intracoastal Waterway. They assured, “There is no risk to the community at this time.”

It wasn’t clear what precipitated the violence or whether more than one shooter may have been involved.

Little River is a community of more than 11,000 people along the South Carolina coast’s Grand Strand and near the border with North Carolina.

The town is known for its deep-sea fishing charters, boat cruises and casino boats. It is about 25 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
