Police and other emergency services in South Carolina were called to reports of an active shooter during the fireworks in Myrtle Beach, but officials believe it was a large fight, not a shooting.

“Officers are on scene at Broadway at the Beach regarding a fight. All other reports are inaccurate. This incident is being investigated as a fight,” a police spokesperson said.
No shooting victims or shell casings were found as of 10:40 p.m. It was not immediately clear whether anyone had been injured in the ensuing panic, but several areas were evacuated, witnesses said.
A large number of emergency services are at the scene while police continue to investigate. We’re working to gather more details about what happened.
