"The North Carolina shooting erupted about 9.30pm near a popular stretch of bars and restaurants on Southport's waterfront, a historic port town about 30 miles (48km) south of Wilmington. Investigators said the assailant piloted a small boat close to shore, stopped briefly and fired into the crowd before speeding away. Roughly half an hour later, a US coast guard crew spotted a person matching the suspect's description pulling a boat from the water at a public ramp on nearby Oak Island."
"It was one of multiple mass shootings cases in which four or more people are shot or killed reported in the US in public places heading into Sunday morning. Elsewhere, in south Texas, seven were shot two of whom were killed in a shooting at a casino early Sunday. And in New Orleans, one woman was killed and three other people were wounded in a shooting on the city's popular Bourbon Street, also early on Sunday."
Three people were killed and at least eight others were wounded when someone opened fire from a boat into a crowd gathered at a waterfront bar in Southport, North Carolina, about 9.30pm. The assailant piloted a small boat close to shore, stopped briefly, fired into the crowd, and sped away. A US Coast Guard crew later spotted a person matching the suspect's description pulling a boat at an Oak Island public ramp; that person was detained and turned over to Southport police. Investigators from multiple agencies collected evidence and interviewed witnesses. Separate shootings in south Texas and on New Orleans' Bourbon Street resulted in additional fatalities and injuries.
