Six people were injured in a shooting after fights broke out on a South Carolina beach while high school seniors were skipping school before spring break was set to start, police said.
Hundreds of people were at the beach in the coastal city of Isle of Palms, about 15 miles east of Charleston, when gunfire erupted around 5:20 p.m. ET Friday, Police Chief Kevin Cornett said during a news conference Friday. The chief said the shooting rang out amid several fights among people who were participating in senior skip day. Cornett said five of those injured were around the age of 18.
One adult woman in her mid-30s or early 40s was also wounded, Cornett said. Some of the injured were taken to a local hospital while others went on their own. All injuries were non-life threatening, according to city officials. It’s unclear whether there was one or multiple shooters. Police have detained several people and continue to investigate, the police chief said.
