The Myrtle Beach Police Department said officers responded to a report of gunshots at the Ocean Reef Resort, located at 7100 North Ocean Boulevard, around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Police said they found one injured person who was taken to the hospital. This person is expected to recover.

Police later identified Jamie Lee Pickett of Wadesboro, North Carolina, as the suspect.

Authorities said Pickett fled the scene shortly after the incident, which stemmed from a domestic incident between him and another person.

Pickett was later taken into custody by the South Carolina Highway Patrol after being involved in a crash just north of the City of Myrtle Beach. Online records show he’s being charged with driving under the influence in connection to the crash.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department said Pickett will also be charged with attempted murder, discharging firearms into a dwelling, and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Pickett was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center early Sunday.
