In a brief statement released on social media, the Honolulu Police Department relayed the unsettling episode of gunfire that plagued the quiet of Kalihi Valley Homes late at night on December 12. According to the department's Facebook post, the district's patrol officers were dispatched following reports of gunshots around 11:00 p.m., an incident that left a number of parked vehicles riddled with bullet holes, although, mercifully, no individuals were harmed. The official post can be viewed on the Honolulu Police Department Facebook page.
The Honolulu Police Department is reminding the public to stay safe. If you hear gunshots or see suspicious activity, find a safe place and call 911. People are advised not to gather in parking lots or open areas near KVH and Hālawa Housing. Stay aware of your surroundings, report anything suspicious, and let law enforcement handle any disturbances instead of intervening yourself.
The Honolulu Police Department is asking parents and guardians to closely watch their children’s activities. They also encourage anyone with information about violent acts to call 911 or CrimeStoppers at (808) 955-8300.
