From a boat sailing past one of Southport's waterfront bars, a shooter opened fire into a crowd of patrons and fled. Authorities said they quickly arrested a person of interest.

Just another mass shooting, suspect is white male marine veteran so keep an eye on how this is portrayed.

Edited: Marine vet, not army vet.

    Just out of interest: Don’t you have any “catch-all” word for military personnel? Where I’m from the equivalent of “soldier” it typically used to mean “unspecified military personnel”.

      It’s English, so there’s probably a ton of them.

      Servicemen is what I would go with. Also military personnel, but that’s too long winded for me
