Multiple people have been injured after a shooting took place on a South Texas beach early Sunday, March 15. As first reported by the Port Aransas South Jetty, a shooting has left five people injured and taken to the hospital.

Officials spoke with the South Jetty early Sunday morning in an interview that was posted to the outlet's Facebook page. City of Port Aransas Police Chief James Stokes said the call for the shooting was received around midnight from Beach Marker 20. At the time the video was shared, Stokes said that four people had been shot at the beach, but later informed the South Jetty that number was five.

"[The shooting] appears to have stemmed from an altercation that occurred," Stokes said in the video. "We do have some suspects detained right now for questioning. All the victims have been transported to local hospitals. I don't have a condition on [all], but I believe two were considered critical, two were serious injuries. And that's pretty much the extent of what I have at this point."

There have been no further reports of what led to the shooting, or is there any information on the condition of those who were shot. The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.
