Early Sunday morning in Kalihi, a shooting incident left two men wounded for reasons that remain, as yet, unknown to authorities. Honolulu Police Department is currently probing the incident as an attempted murder after the victims — a 31-year-old and a 24-year-old man — were fired upon by an individual who immediately fled the scene, direction unknown. This information comes according to a report by KITV.
Police records noted that the two men were shot at, but the motivations behind the shooting have yet to be elucidated. The first victim sought treatment at The Queen’s Medical Center, where he was treated for gunshot wounds, as KHON2 revealed. However, the status of the second victim's injuries was not detailed in the initial reports.
Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene at around 5:25 a.m., where they discovered the younger victim bleeding from a head wound. He was promptly transported in serious condition to a nearby trauma hospital. Despite the quick medical response, no arrests have been made and the investigation into the shooting continues.
The incident has raised concerns in the Kalihi community, which is now dealing with the impact of violence nearby. The Honolulu Police Department investigates leads and urges anyone with information about the incident to come forward to help clarify this serious matter.
