Omarion Glass, 20, is facing three charges of attempted murder, possession of a firearm during a violent crime and use or employment of a person under 18 to commit certain crimes.聽

An armed suspect fleeing police crashed near 67th Avenue North and U.S. 17 bypass Thursday morning, May 22, according to public safety officials.

Pegram and Glass were two of the four individuals that were detained from the stolen vehicle. MBPD say the other two that were detained are not currently facing charges and have been released to state custody.聽

Randolph Angotti, Myrtle Beach Police Department spokesperson, said a vehicle was seen in a South Ocean Boulevard parking lot with four people wearing masks. Officers approached the vehicle, and the vehicle fled the area.

MBPD pursued the vehicle, and during the pursuit, suspects shot at police, Angotti said. Nobody was injured.

Myrtle Beach Police Department requested the assistance of Horry County police at around 8:30 a.m. while pursuing an armed suspect in the stolen vehicle, police say.

Horry County Police Department reports the pursuit began when the suspect vehicle was seen driving the wrong way in traffic and driving at excessive speeds.

Capt. Jon Evans with Myrtle Beach Fire Department said the pursuit started in the Market Common area.聽

Witnesses reported shots were fired at Market Common along Farrow Parkway.

鈥婬aley Wentz, a teacher with Coastal High School, said the school was having field day at Market Common when a shooting happened.

"It happened in five, ten seconds. There was a car and a million cops following," she said. "鈥媁e didn't know what it was, maybe a misfire on a car, because it's 8 a.m. so you don't think that that's happening. When I look, you just see a guy hanging out the window with a huge gun."

Wentz said she saw a suspect hanging out of a white Dodge Durango with an assault rifle and the person was shooting into the air.

The school's principal Sherri Oskin said students followed protocol and dropped to the ground. Parents were notified, and some students who were scared went home.

Evans said two vehicles were involved in the crash and there are 鈥渢wo patients鈥� but is unclear the severity of their injuries and whether they were taken to the hospital.

HCPD says no one was injured and there is no risk to the community at this time.
