​Teens taking part in what authorities described as a takeover on Tybee Island, Georgia, prompted panic when gunfire was reported along the pier. The Tybee Island Police Department said officers responded around 6:30 p.m. Saturday after hundreds gathered near the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion, a popular spot in the laid-back beach community. During the unpermitted pop-up event, officers heard a single gunshot and the crowd began to scatter. Video released by the department showed large numbers of teens running away. Visitors on the island described the scene as chaotic; one said there were about 15 girls who yelled at them the night before for no reason, adding that the crowd appeared to be comprised of drunk white girls—a “cloud of white girls” walking around.

After reviewing 911 calls and video, detectives said they believe the gunshot may have originated from the beach below. The department is now looking for two individuals seen emerging from the darkness beneath the end of the pier and pavilion, and they believe these people may have information about the investigation. Anyone who knows who these individuals are, or if one of them is you, is asked to contact Detective Sam Stuber at (912) 786-5600 or sstuber@cityoftybee.gov.

Tybee Island is a barrier island on Georgia’s Atlantic coast, about 18 miles east of downtown Savannah.
