A suspect is in custody following a Saturday shooting at an annex of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam that left one person critically injured, according to the base.
The shooting took place around 5:45 p.m. Saturday at the Wahiawa Annex, about 12 miles northwest of the main installation, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Saturday.
“This incident involved two individuals,” the base wrote on its official Facebook page Saturday. “This was an isolated event and poses no threat to the broader base community.”
The shooting was under active investigation by base security, the Naval Criminal Investigative Services and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division, according to the post.
The base’s posts did not disclose details about the shooter or victim.
The shooting occurred at the Wahiawa Annex housing area, according to an updated posted on Facebook by the joint base on Saturday.
However, Honolulu police said they responded to a shooting at the Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station at the annex, according to the Star-Advertiser.
The telecom station employs about 760 people, including 450 active-duty personnel and another 310 civilians and contractors, and is responsible for telecommunications and maintaining the Department of Defense Information Network in the Pacific, according to its website.
Spokespeople for the base and U.S. Pacific Air Forces did not immediately respond to phone and email requests for comment and additional details Sunday in Hawaii.
The incident follows a shooting Wednesday at Fort Stewart, Ga. The Army alleges that Sgt. Quornelius Radford, 28, opened fire on soldiers in his unit, leaving five injured.
Radford’s fellow soldiers – Sgt. Aaron Turner and Master Sgt. Justin Thomas – tackled him shortly after he began firing inside Fort Stewart’s 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team complex just before 11 a.m. and held him until law enforcement arrived, 3rd Infantry commander Brig. Gen. John Lubas said Thursday.
As of Thursday, three of the five victims had been discharged from hospitals and the remaining two were recovering from surgeries with expectations that they’ll make full recoveries, Lubas added.
