A person of interest is currently being questioned, according to Southport spokesperson ChyAnn Ketchum.
The incident occurred at 9:30 p.m. local time, officials said, according to 911 calls made. 10 to 15 shots were fired from a passing boat at the crowded dockside restaurant at the Southport Yacht basin.
