The assailant approached the crowd by piloting a small boat close to shore, fired into the crowd, and then fled the scene. About 30 minutes later, the U.S. Coast Guard detained a person matching the suspect&#8217;s description near a nearby public boat ramp. Authorities have not yet identified the suspect or disclosed a motive. Multiple agencies, including the State Bureau of Examination and the Coast guard, are actively investigating the incident, collecting evidence, and interviewing witnesses. The names of the victims and the condition of the injured have not been released. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">3 killed and 8 injured in North Carolina waterfront bar shooting<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2256838\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>SOUTHPORT, North Carolina (AP) &mdash;<\/strong> Three people were killed and at least eight others wounded late Saturday when someone opened fire from a boat into a crowd gathered at a waterfront bar in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russian-led-nord-stream-2-pipeline-resumes-construction-in-europe-after-halting-under-trump-report\/\" title=\"Russian-Led Nord Stream 2 Pipeline Resumes Construction In Europe After Halting Under Trump: Report\">coastal town<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/north-carolina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">North Carolina<\/a>, authorities said.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/violent-crime-on-the-rise-in-san-diego-calif\/\" title=\"Violent crime on the rise in San Diego, Calif.\">shooting erupted<\/a> about 9:30 p.m. near a popular stretch of bars and restaurants on Southport&rsquo;s waterfront, a historic port town about 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Wilmington.
