A mass shooting in Little River, South Carolina, has left at least 11 people wounded Saturday night, with authorities urging residents to avoid the area as the investigation continues, as per Fox News.

The Horry County Police Department responded to reports of gunfire on Watson Avenue, where multiple victims were found. Emergency medical services transported 11 individuals to area hospitals, while police say additional victims arrived at medical facilities in private vehicles.

The shooting occurred in a residential area of Little River, about 15 miles north of Myrtle Beach. Authorities have not released information about potential suspects or motives as crime scene technicians continue processing evidence.

Horry County Fire Rescue confirmed their personnel remain on scene assisting with the investigation. The incident marks another violent episode in the Grand Strand region, though mass shootings in the quieter Little River community are relatively uncommon compared to the more tourist-heavy areas nearby.
