A shooting in Myrtle Beach, South Caroline left one person dead and 11 others injured late Saturday night, according to police.
The Myrtle Beach Police Department is now scrambling to piece together the horrific scene as the popular tourist hotspot turned into a zone of terror.
Just before the clock struck midnight on Saturday at 11:50 p.m., Myrtle Beach police officers stumbled upon a full-blown brawl involving a crowd of people.
According to the authorities, they 'observed a disturbance involving multiple individuals.'
Cops say a chaotic fight turned deadly in Myrtle Beach when someone whipped out a weapon, forcing an officer to fire back.
'The individual shot during officer response has passed away as a result of their injuries,' police posted on Facebook.
Authorities confirmed the officer involved escaped without injury.
The Myrtle Beach Police Department released a statement, saying: 'The Myrtle Beach Police Department offers its prayers and deepest sympathies to everyone affected by this incident.'
Following standard procedure, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will now step in to conduct an independent investigation into the officer-involved shooting.
Additionally, the Myrtle Beach Police Department will also carry out an internal review of the deadly incident.
'We appreciate the public's patience as both investigations proceed, and all leads are thoroughly examined,' the department stated.

Pretty high wounded to killed ratio. What does this indicate?
Notice how the writer claimed the police “bumbled” upon the scene? I hate the media.
Looks like the only fatality was killed by the officer, leading to 10 wounded and zero killed by the shooter(s).
Passed away? Or shot to death in a hail of bullets?
And yet there are no photos. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.........
Stumbled. Meaning not as a result of a call. They just wound up in the right place at the right time. Perfectly legit non-insulting word usage.
The DM ends the article by comparing this shooting with the ceiling collapse in the Dominican Republic and touting the dangers of club overcrowding.
Bless their hearts.
Don’t ask Boo Boo.
So a mass shooting is now classified as “one dead”?
Another contentious midnight meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution?
‘stumbled upon’ conveys the impression of a certain amount of ineptness on the part of the police.
‘happened upon’ would more accurately portray encountering during regular police patrolling.
The Ann Coulter Axiom applies here.
Mass shooting leaves hundreds of casualties from bee stings and hurt feelings.
dont ask Yogi or Boo Boo we already know the answer
I think boo boo got disrespected know what I’m saying?
My initial impression...homey started blasting...FA...and a cop dropped him. FO
No peeking!
Amazing how we have to decode the media with their withholding, lying, and obfuscating.
