MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) – Two people died Wednesday night after a reported shooting, Horry County police announced on Twitter.
Police responded to the Flintlake Apartments in the Forestbrook area near Myrtle Beach around 5:40 p.m. Wednesday. Officers grabbed the door and noticed it was open, so they made their way into the home. When officers went upstairs, they found two victims on the floor, the police report states.
A third person was in the home when police arrived and is referenced as a witness, but police did not provide that person’s age or relation to the victims on the report.
