Police respond to McCully area shooting
Police responded to a shooting shortly after 5:30 a.m. today at a building across from the McCully Zippy’s.
A woman who reported the shooting said police told her it was a game room and that they found spent buckshot inside. No one was injured, however, and the suspects fled in a maroon car.
The woman, a customer at the McCully Zippy’s, told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser she heard a loud boom but wasn’t sure what it was.
She said that when she saw the stairwell light up when the shooting started, she knew it was guns.
The woman heard a second boom, then she saw two men running down the stairs, both holding shotguns.
They looked at her, and she said she hid behind her car while they jumped into a maroon car and sped off onto Young Street.
