After suffering from a gunshot wound during a robbery near the Myrtle Beach Walmart early Black Friday, a victim is said to be resting in the hospital.
Myrtle Beach Police Captain Kevin Heins said just after 1 a.m., three people were approached by two men in a parking lot across the street from the Walmart located along Seaboard Street. The suspects then asked the victim for her purse at gunpoint at the trunk of a vehicle.
Moments later, a 25 year old man was hit in the head. During the scuffle, a shot was also fired, striking a 55-year-old woman in the foot, Hines said. A 58-year-old woman somehow got to her own gun, hidden in a center console, and began firing shots into the air.
Myrtle Beach first responders rushed the gunshot victim to a local hospital. A family friend told WMBF News the group was visiting the area from Rockingham, NC. The victim is resting in the hospital and will have surgery on her foot around 3 p.m. Friday. The 25-year-old victim was treated and released for his own injuries.
In the meantime, police are searching for the armed suspects. Hines said they don't have a clear description of who they're looking for at this time.
Captain Hines said he believed the shooting was related to Black Friday shopping. Hines issued a warning to shoppers to be aware of your surroundings and keep your personal safety in mind.
