A mass shooting at a crowded family-friendly restaurant in South Carolina left four people dead and at least 20 customers injured, according to police.
The horror unfolded around 1am Sunday at Willie's Bar and Grill in St. Helena Island, about two hours from Charleston.
Deputies with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office were called to the scene after gunshots erupted right before Willie Turral's eyes.
Turral, the owner of the restaurant, called the unthinkable scene 'mayhem' after hearing what he said sounded like machine gun fire ring out.
When authorities arrived, they witnessed a massive crowd and several people suffering from gunshot wounds, the department said.
Hundreds gathered at the establishment, known as 'a hub of warmth and friendship in the heart of our beloved community,' according to the restaurant's website.
Multiple victims and witnesses ran for their lives to nearby properties and businesses seeking shelter, police said.
A total of four victims were transported to local hospital in critical condition by Beaufort County EMS. Four unidentified victims died at the scene.
At least two dozen were injured by gunfire and showed up to the hospital on their own with injuries, per authorities.

Click. Yup.
Let me guess.
1AM isn’t “family-friendly” time.
“shooting at a crowded family-friendly restaurant”
Seriesly?
0100 on MLKj Blvd on an inland “tourist” island spot.
After midnight, it ain’t ‘touristy’ no more.
Yeah, that time of day ain’t ‘family friendly’, either bruh.
I can’t wait to piss on CNN’s grave... or the grave of Gyorgy StepsOnAllOfUs from ABC.
seems it was a private event being held at the closed restaurant, a class reunion of a local black high school.
1 am also
Waiter, what are these two bullets doing in my soup?
I’ll likely beak my sober work so I can have full supply of Shiner Bock (or other appropriate “beer”) to keep my bladder inflated.
Wrong shooter. Nigel Edge was taken into custody shortly after he shot up the American Fish Company on September 27. The shooter for this one is unidentified and hasn’t been arrested. Although they do have “persons of interest.”
“Hundreds gathered at the establishment, known as ‘a hub of warmth and friendship in the heart of our beloved community...”
Nope. Objectively not true since somebody decided to enact an impromptu reenactment of the battle of the Ia Drang valley in the middle of the main course.

I pulled that from Daily Mail.
If so, I’m glad to be corrected.
All I see for customers in the photo at Willie's is white folks. Not so 'major' a hub I guess.
“1AM isn’t “family-friendly” time.”
Exactly my first thought & now my suspicions on the larger question are now settled by consulting with Yogi and Boo-boo.
Nothing good happens if you are out in a bar or club socializing after midnight.
In wonder if it was “them”?
Avoid “them”.
We’re sure paying for not picking our own damn cotton!
They really need to quit calling gang shootings “mass shootings.”
[[Waiter, what are these two bullets doing in my soup?]]
The cook was shooting the flies
