No one died in the shooting in Little River around 9:30 p.m., although some of the wounded were in critical condition, Horry County Police said in a statement.

A North Myrtle Beach police officer responding to the shooting accidentally shot himself in the leg at a marina about 3 miles (5 kilometers) away and is in the hospital in stable condition, North Myrtle Beach spokeswoman Lauren Jessie said.

The cop shooting himself in the leg 3 miles away from the shooting is amazing.

I thought so too. Like what police service decides to add that into a statement for a news reporter? Betcha someone got called into the office over that one.

To say he was doing something useful at the time, instead of being a dickhead. Line of duty, probably means the city pays the medical bills.

Oh hey Dirty Myrtle at it again. Why people ever visit that place as a vacation spot is so bizarre to me. I live nearby and it is a plague on the Carolina’s. Either go north to Wilmington or go south to Charleston. Do not go to Dirty Myrtle you might not come back, Horry county has been ranked as the most dangerous county in the state for decades.

I got and went hunting. This was published at the end of last year: https://www.yahoo.com/news/counties-sc-highest-lowest-violent-190441512.html

Eta poverty and crime have a direct correlation, leading to the adage: desperate people do desperate things.
