Isle of Palms Police Chief Kevin Cornett said during a news conference that the shooting happened in the middle of multiple fights among those participating in senior skip day, CNN reported.

The victims had non-life-threatening injuries. Cornett said some of the injured were taken by ambulance to an area hospital and some took themselves. Five of the injured were teenagers and one was a woman in her 30s, Cornett said, according to the AP.
