Tourist Bubba Hinson captured a mass shootout in Myrtle Beach, SC at 12:30 A.M. on Sunday. He recorded the entirety of the event on Facebook Live from a safe location above the crime scene, and the circulated footage has seen more than 2.6 million views and over 70,000 shares.
When a fight broke out among a crowd of people blocking traffic, the male suspect pulled out a gun and began firing. He shot numerous rounds, injuring 7 who were transported to a nearby hospital. The suspect escaped the scene by carjacking a vehicle but was later captured and taken into custody by police.
All 7 injured are expected to make a full recovery.
