A FIGHT at an unauthorized neighborhood concert resulted in a teenage girl being shot dead and 13 others wounded, police say.
Cops in North Charleston, South Carolina were called at about 10.30pm on Saturday to reports of gunfire.
The shooting happened near Piggly Wiggly Drive and West Jimtown Drive, an area with a mix of modest homes and warehouses off Rivers Avenue.
Officers said that when they arrived they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds, Live5 reports.
NCPD Deputy Chief Scott Deckard said a total 14 victims had been shot and that one 14-year-old female suffered a fatal wound.
Some victims were rushed to local hospital while others were taken for medical help by people attending the party.
James McClam, a nearby resident, told The Post and Courier: "The neighbors were having a cookout or whatever you want to call it in a little open field behind the house.
“Some girls from another area, who didn’t live here, came and before you know it, a doggone argument started.
"And the next thing you know bullets are flying.”
McClam said that his daughter had also been at the party, but luckily returned home before the mass shooting.
He described the deadly gunfire as "terrible".
The dad said he was concerned that "there are just too many youngsters walking around with guns".
Chief Deckard said that preliminary investigation found that a fight broke out near the stage during the unannounced, and unauthorized concert.
