Early morning shooting at Myrtle Beach bar sends two to hospital, according to police
Two people were taken to a hospital following a shooting at Dog House Donny’s Saloon on 3rd Ave. South in Myrtle Beach early Tuesday morning, according to Myrtle Beach Police Cpl. Thomas Bannister at the scene.
One victim was shot multiple times, but his injuries do not appear to be life threatening, according to Cpl. Thomas Vest with Myrtle Beach police. Another man suffered injuries, but was not shot, police say.
Numerous Myrtle Beach police units responded to the scene around 3 a.m. after receiving reports of shots fired, and Donny’s parking lot was cordoned off by yellow crime scene tape as detectives investigated the incident.
Bar Owner Don Emery said the alleged shooter was thrown out of the bar, retrieved a gun from his vehicle and fired shots in the parking lot. The gun was never in the establishment, Emery said.
He believes the shooter and the victims knew each other, and said none of those involved were familiar to him or his employees.
Police ask anyone with information on the incident to contact the department at (843) 918-1382.
