According to the brief details shared on the Honolulu Police Department (Official Site) Facebook page, a male suspect involved in the shooting was pronounced dead at the scene.
The police are still investigating the circumstances that led to the shooting, and the identities of the victims, nor the suspect have been released to the public. Emotional shockwaves have no doubt, begun to ripple through the community as families and neighbors grapple with the immediacy of the violence that has encroached upon their peace.
