A sail-by shooting at a waterfront restaurant in Southport, North Carolina, on Saturday night left three people dead and eight others injured, officials said.

The City of Southport issued a notice at 9:53pm local time warning of gunfire in the yacht basin area. "There is an unknown number of injuries. Avoid the area and remain in your homes. Please report any suspicious activity immediately to 911," the post read.
