Horry police investigating reported shooting in Longs community
Two people were injured in a Monday morning shooting at a mobile home in Longs.
The extent of their injuries is unknown, but family and police radio traffic say one person was shot in the head and another was shot in the leg.
Horry County Spokeswoman Kelly Moore said the people involved in the shooting were accounted for and there was no threat to the public.
Around 10 a.m., officers responded to the mobile home at Bombing Range Road off S.C. Highway 90.
Mary Moore owns the property and said she was at work when the shooting happened. Moore said she was told a man broke into the home and shot another person in the leg. The man who broke in then went out to his truck and shot himself, she said.
It was difficult standing at the scene for Moore as she said her son died in September.
“I’m going through so much,” she said. “This hurts me to the heart.”
The victims went to the hospital for their injuries.
Several Horry County police officers were on scene and investigating around the mobile home. A small crowd of neighbors also gathered nearby.
