Two shootings at Myrtle Beach resort complex remain under investigation
Two shootings were reported within nine hours of each other at one Myrtle Beach resort complex during the weekend, authorities said.
Officers were called to the Compass Cove Resort about 10:30 p.m. Saturday and again at 6:57 a.m. Sunday for separate shooting incidents, authorities said. A man suffered gunshot wounds in the Saturday shooting, but no one was hurt in the early morning Sunday incident.
Myrtle Beach police Lt. Joey Crosby said at 2 p.m. Sunday that a man, who was taken into custody soon after the Saturday night shooting, will be charged in the incident. But he had not been served arrest warrants formally charging him in the shooting.
The Sun News does not identify suspects until arrest warrants are filed.
In a report released early Sunday, police were called at 10:25 p.m. Sunday to 2311 S. Ocean Blvd., which is also part of the Compass Cove Resort for a 39-year-old man being shot. The victim was taken to Grand Strand Medical Center for treatment, but details about his condition was not available early Sunday.
Officers took a 45-year-old man into custody as the suspect in the shooting, according to the report.
In the second incident on Sunday, officers continued to search for the person responsible for firing a gun during a robbery attempt, Crosby said at 2 p.m.
Officers were called at 6:57 a.m. Sunday to one of the buildings that is part of Compass Cove at 2401 S. Ocean Blvd., authorities said. The victim told police he came out of his room and was approached by a man, who presented a gun and demanded the victim’s money.
The victim ran to his room and the robber fired a gunshot while running from the area, Crosby said.
No other details were available in either incident.
Crosby said he should have more information available on Sunday.
More information will be posted as it becomes available
