It is unclear if a suspect has been identified.
This act of violence comes just after after fights broke out and caused a stampede at a Memorial Day event nearby.
At least 10 people were taken to the hospital amid the chaos during a concert at Black Bike Week in Atlantic Beach, which is roughly nine miles away from Little River, on Saturday night.
Interim Town Manager Linda Cheatham released a statement that said an unspecified number of people were hurt.
