At least four people were killed and 16 injured early Sunday in a shooting at a bar in St. Helena Island, South Carolina, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. at Willie’s Bar and Grill, 7 Dr. Martin Luther Drive on St. Helena Island, located about an hour north of Savannah, Ga., according to the sheriff's office.
When deputies arrived at the scene, there was a large crowd at the bar with several people suffering from gunshot wounds, according to the sheriff's office.
Willie Turral, owner of Willie's Bar and Grill in St. Helena Island, S.C., wipes away tears as he speaks of a mass shooting that erupted outside his bar, Oct. 12, 2025.
Four people were pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff's office said.
Officials initially reported four dead and 20 injured but later clarified to ABC News that the injured included the victims who were killed.
"It was learned that hundreds of people were at the location when the shooting occurred. Multiple victims and witnesses ran to the nearby businesses and properties seeking shelter from the gun shots," according to the statement from the sheriff's office.

You must be lost.
I’m not sure... Hillsborough’s MLK BLVD has a few bad parts, but on the East end, some homes worth 750k are popping up...The West end has Raymond James Stadium and St. Joseph Hospital...the East end (mostly rural) has homes being built..
