4 masked people fire at Myrtle Beach officers in high-speed chase through city
Four people were detained Thursday morning after firing a gun at Myrtle Beach Police officers and leading police on a high-speed chase in a stolen vehicle.
Roads closed on Farrow Parkway in Myrtle Beach and the area of 67th Avenue North off of Highway 17 North.
An officer on the scene of the accident on 67th Avenue North said that one person was injured in the crash and was taken to the hospital. The people in the vehicle fired at officers on Farrow Parkway in Myrtle Beach, the officer said.
The vehicle appears to have been stolen from North Carolina.
Myrtle Beach Police officers attempted to approach a vehicle about 8:15 a.m. with four occupants, all who were wearing masks, MBPD Chief Amy Prock said in a Facebook post.
When officers attempted to stop the car, the car fled and officers were shot at while in pursuit, Prock added.
Prock said in the video that the chase began on South Ocean Boulevard near the Twilight Surf motel.
Myrtle Beach Police Department requested assistance from HCPD about 8:30 a.m. May 22 to pursue a suspect driving a stolen vehicle, according to an Horry County Police Facebook post.
Prior to HCPD becoming involved in the pursuit, the suspect was seen driving the wrong way in traffic and driving at excessive speeds, the post said.
Police vehicles had Farrow Parkway at the Coventry intersection in Market Common blocked off Thursday morning.
The county's involvement in the pursuit ultimately ended when the suspect vehicle wrecked near 67th Avenue North and North US Highway 17.
No one was injured in the incident and there is no threat to the community, the HCPD Facebook post added.
The names of those detained were not released.

Historic New York lighthouse was vandalized and set on fire
A group of four men broke into a historic New York lighthouse along the Hudson River, set a fire and vandalized the interior, destroying valuable antiques, furniture and other items. The Tarrytown Lighthouse in Sleepy Hollow, built in 1883 and now on the National Register of Historic Places, had just undergone a two-year, $3.4 million renovation and reopened to the public last fall, Westchester County officials said. A county parks worker saw smoke coming from the conical, five-story lighthouse on Saturday morning, then discovered the damage, county police said. Police and firefighters responded and put out a small fire with extinguishers. The flooring on the first level was heavily damaged. Antiques, furniture and other historically significant items were destroyed. Thirty-five books dating to the 1800s and early 1900s were strewn on the floor and damaged. Multiple windows were broken. County officials say there is at least $100,000 in damage, and they expect that number to increase when an assessment is complete. 'The Tarrytown Lighthouse is one of our County's most iconic and cherished landmarks,' County Executive Ken Jenkins said in a statement. 'This was a truly despicable act, and we will do everything we can to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.' County police have posted surveillance photos on their Facebook page showing four young men near the lighthouse and are asking for the public's help in identifying them. No arrests have been made. As part of the renovation, interior and exterior sections were restored and repainted. Windows were replaced and the structure stabilized. Repairs were made to the cast iron exterior and masonry. Wood floors were repaired and restored. The fire burned nearly all the way through the wooden first floor, said Peter Tartaglia, first deputy commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. 'It's disturbing what happened,' he said in a phone interview Wednesday. 'But we'll get it fixed. We'll get it back. It was historically reconstructed and it's a wonderful piece of history. It's iconic in Westchester County to see that on the Hudson River.' The 60-foot-tall (18-meter-tall) lighthouse, owned by the county, opened in 1883 to guide ships past dangerous shoals along that stretch of the river, according to the parks department. Its lantern could cast a beam of light visible for 10 miles (16 kilometers), and it had a bell that could warn mariners during foggy conditions, the department said. During its 74 years of operation, 14 lighthouse keepers lived in the structure, some with their families. It was rendered obsolete when the former Tappan Zee Bridge was completed in 1955 and taken out of service in 1961, officials said. It's located about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Manhattan in a park in the village of Sleepy Hollow, made famous in Washington Irving's 1820 tale about the Headless Horseman. It's one of seven Hudson River lighthouses that remain. The arson and vandalism comes a little more than a month after a barge pushed by a tugboat struck the historic Hudson-Athens Lighthouse, about 80 miles (129 kilometers) upriver from Tarrytown. The April 29 crash severely damaged the dock of the 151-year-old lighthouse , which advocates have been trying to save from crumbling into the river. ____ Associated Press writer Michael Hill in Albany, New York, contributed to this report.

Eminem publisher sues Meta, claiming unlicensed use of rapper's music on Facebook
Eminem publisher sues Meta, claiming unlicensed use of rapper's music on Facebook Show Caption Hide Caption Eminem joins bid to bring WNBA back to Detroit Rapper Eminem has joined a group of investors in a bid to expand the Women's National Basketball Association in his native city of Detroit. unbranded - Sport The lawsuit contends Meta maintains online music libraries with Eminem songs supplied to the public for user posts without proper licensing. The Eminem music has been deployed "across millions of videos, which have been viewed billions of times," reads the complaint. Eminem's song publisher has sued the digital giant Meta, claiming the company behind Facebook and Instagram failed to properly secure licensing for music by the Detroit rapper. The lawsuit, filed May 30 by Eight Mile Style in a Detroit federal court, contends Meta maintains online music libraries with Eminem songs supplied to the public for user posts. Works include hits such as "'Till I Collapse," which is among the 243 Eminem songs administered by Eight Mile Style. The filing states previous outreach from Eight Mile Style to Meta prompted the social media company to remove Eminem tracks such as "Lose Yourself" from its libraries, although karaoke and instrumental versions of that song remain available, according to the suit. Eminem's music has been deployed "across millions of videos, which have been viewed billions of times," reads the complaint. Eminem is not a direct party in the suit. A Meta spokesperson reached by the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, declined to comment on the lawsuit. Eight Mile Style alleges Meta committed several forms of copyright infringement. It is seeking yet-to-be-determined monetary damages, based on Meta's advertising profits, or statutory copyright damages, along with a permanent injunction against the company's use of Eminem songs. The lawsuit argues that Meta isn't merely allowing posters to include Eminem music in user-generated content – it is "actively encouraging" them by featuring the songs in its libraries. Eight Mile Style says the songs are made available for user posts on Facebook, remixes on Instagram Reels and content on the Meta-owned messaging service WhatsApp. Algorithms directly promote the music to users via "For You" and "Trending" categories, the suit claims. The lawsuit alleges that Meta accessed the songs through a 2020 arrangement with the New York digital licensing firm Audiam, which had previously worked with Eight Mile Style. In this situation, the complaint says Audiam was not authorized by the Michigan company to enter into an agreement with Meta for Eminem's music. Jamie Lee Curtis calls out Mark Zuckerberg over AI video dupe of her "Meta's years-long and ongoing infringement of the Eight Mile Compositions is another case of a trillion (with a 'T') dollar company exploiting the creative efforts of musical artists for the obscene monetary benefit of its executives and shareholders without a license and without regard to the rights of the owners of the intellectual property," reads the complaint. Eight Mile Style, which was co-founded by Eminem's early production team the Bass Brothers, oversees Eminem's catalog of songs published between 1995 and 2005, including releases up through the album "Encore." 'Happy Gilmore 2' trailer teases cavalcade of cameos: Post Malone, Eminem and more The Michigan company has aggressively guarded against copyright infringement through the years, most notably in the digital sphere, including high-profile litigation with Apple and Spotify. Facebook was named in a 2013 lawsuit by Eight Mile Style, which alleged the social media service simulated the Eminem track "Under the Influence" in an ad spot. That dispute was settled out of court. The new Meta suit contends that Eminem's compositions "are some of the most valuable in the world, and Eight Mile Style is very protective of these iconic songs."
