Wednesday night there was a report of a big fight at Broadway at the Beach in Myrtle Beach. It was also said that there were shots fired. This happened during the fireworks display. A lot of panic and people running and hiding. Police said there were no shots fired, no guns. They were in fact Tweeting this shortly after they arrived on the scene. No guns, no shooter, it's OK.
Police are taking a lot of heat and being accused of covering up the truth. Can't have any more reports of shooting and violence around here, it will keep the tourists dollars away. Police have stated that the time of the first call and their arrival was 3 minutes. That sounds pretty fast. But, we all know how much damage and carnage can be done in 3 minutes. It is your duty to protect yourself, not rely on the police. But, we already know that.

Just about 3 weeks ago there was a shooting near Ripley's Believe It Or Not on Ocean Blvd and about the same time another shooting at a nearby hotel. Folks, Myrtle Beach ain't what it used to be, it's gotten bad. Local officials try to keep it quiet so as not to keep tourists from coming.
Just this week an 11 year old girl was bitten by a shark near the 14th Ave pier. The girl and her mom saw that it was a shark. The paramedics and media are calling it "an aquatic animal bite". If tourists thought there might be sharks in the water, they may not bring their money. If you walk out on any pier around here you'll see sharks swimming around less than 100 yards from where people are playing in the water. Sharks live in the ocean, you have entered their house, they live there.
If you must come to the Grand Strand area, use extreme caution and be very aware of your surroundings. Some friends were at Broadway at the Beach Wednesday night and they said things just didn't feel right. They decided they had better follow their feelings and leave. They were leaving when it all started. If it doesn't look or feel right, get out.
