Ten people were shot during a fight that started on a private boat holding a holiday weekend party Sunday night on the South Carolina coast, authorities said. No one died in the shooting in Little River, about 20 miles northeast of Myrtle Beach, around 9:30pm, although some of the wounded were in critical condition, Horry County Police said in a statement. At least one person was taken to the hospital who was not hurt by gunfire, police said, per the AP. The shooting happened around a dock where a private charter boat leaves for cruises. The boat was docked and detectives are trying to figure out exactly where the fight and shooting began, police said.

A flyer online advertised a party Sunday night with a DJ on a three-hour cruise ending at 9pm. No arrests have been made as detectives continue to investigate. A North Myrtle Beach police officer responding to the shooting accidentally shot himself in the leg at a marina about 3 miles away and is in the hospital in stable condition, said a North Myrtle Beach rep.
