Date: 26-may-2025 | By: Nuztrend Team
On the evening of Sunday, May 25, 2025, a serene waterfront community in Little River, South Carolina, was rocked by a mass shooting that left at least 11 individuals injured. The incident occurred around 9:30 p.m. near a boat dock along the Intracoastal Waterway, a popular area frequented by both locals and tourists.
According to the Associated Press, the victims were rushed to nearby hospitals, some via private transport. Their conditions have not yet been officially disclosed, though no fatalities have been reported as of Monday morning.
What Happened in Little River?
Initial reports indicate that multiple shots were fired in quick succession, causing panic among the crowd gathered near the marina. Law enforcement quickly responded, securing the area and urging the public to avoid the scene.
The area, located roughly 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach, is a well-known destination for boating, fishing, and summer getaways. Witnesses described scenes of confusion and fear as people fled from the area when the gunfire began.
Officer Injured During Response
In a tragic twist during the police response, a North Myrtle Beach officer suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the leg due to an accidental discharge of his weapon. He was treated at a nearby hospital and is reportedly in stable condition.
Investigation Underway, No Arrests Yet
Authorities have yet to identify a suspect or determine a clear motive. As of this writing, no arrests have been made. Investigators are asking for the public’s help and encourage anyone with information or video footage to come forward.

The FBI and South Carolina Law Enforcement Division are reportedly offering assistance to local authorities as the investigation expands. The incident adds to growing concerns about public safety and gun violence in recreational and residential zones.
Community Reeling from the Incident
For residents of Little River, the shooting has left a lasting scar. The tight-knit beach town, typically known for its charm and peaceful atmosphere, is grappling with the trauma of an event that few expected in such a tranquil setting.
Local leaders and law enforcement officials are planning a press conference later this week to address the public and share updates on the investigation.
As the nation continues to confront the broader crisis of gun violence, this latest episode in South Carolina is a sobering reminder that no community, however idyllic, is entirely immune.
