The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office is investigating a shooting at the Pahokee Marina and Campground.

Investigators say two men went into one of the RVs at the campsite and started shooting late Sunday night.

One man was shot and a woman was injured.

"This has never happened here. Never. I've been here thirteen years and nothing like this has every happened" Marina employee Richard Brown said.

Other tourists from out of state said they saw the police and were stunned.

The marina has had a rough year.

Plans to revitalize the arae have fallen through and Guy Harvey's proposal to start a resort also didn't work out.

"We're looking for someone to come in and help this place take off...this is bad news," Brown said.
