At least 11 people were injured and hospitalised after a shooting incident in a South Carolina beach town in the United States on Sunday night (local time), reported the Associated Press.

 

According to Horry County Police, the incident occurred around 9:30 pm in a mostly residential area of Little River near the Intracoastal Waterway. So far, no details have been released regarding suspects or the circumstances leading to the shooting.
