Here are the top stories today in Myrtle Beach:

1. The umbrella rule is officially in effect! As of this weekend, Myrtle Beach’s ‘umbrellas only’ rule has gone into effect, which means that only circular umbrellas measuring up to 7 ½ feet in diameter are allowed in-line with or behind the established umbrella line from now until Labor Day. (WMBF)
2. There was a shooting incident over the weekend in Myrtle Beach which involved both the suspect and the victim shooting at one another. According to WMBF, "The suspect has been identified as 36-year-old Brian Yow from Asheboro, North Carolina. He fired two shots at 19-year-old victim in Myrtle Beach when Yow waved him over to the side of the road. The victim fired back with his shotgun. The report states the victim was not hurt in the shooting. Myrtle Beach police arrested Yow and charged him with attempted murder, unlawful carry of a pistol, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and possession of a controlled substance. He is currently being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center under no bond." (WMBF)
3. Moms Demand Action will host a “Wear Orange” Gun Violence Awareness Community Gathering on June 4 from 3 to 5 p.m. at Myrtle’s Market, located at 605 Mr. Joe White Ave. Participants are encouraged to wear orange clothing in support of the movement. Hope to see you there. (wpde.com)
