KAILUA-KONA — One person was confirmed dead in an incident in the area of a Painted Church Road address Saturday, according to the Hawaii Fire Department.
The shooter reportedly fled the scene on a motorcycle, the department said in a press release, and his or her current location was unknown at the time of the statement.
The incident, reported just before 3 Saturday afternoon, involved “possibly three victims” in the area of the Painted Church Road address, according to a statement from the Hawaii Fire Department.
Hawaii Fire Department Company 6 responded from a staging area on Keala o Keawe Road to assist HFD Medic 12 with a 39 year-old man with “multiple gunshot wounds,” the release stated.
The man was being taken in a private vehicle toward Kona Community Hospital and flagged down Medic 12 for assistance, which transported the man to the hospital. Meanwhile, Company 6 again responded to the staging area to await clearance and possible medical assistance to a second and third victim. The release indicated one male victim at the scene was dead.
Painted Church Road remained closed at either end as of 5:25 p.m.
Police have not released any additional details at this time.

Yet another incident due to the fact that there are ever more gun shops on the island, shooting ranges planned, and the NRA lobbying for less gun restriction in our state.
Yet another incident…LMFAO! You are clearly anti 2nd amendment. This state has the most restrictions on gun ownership. Yeah people will get violent and kill other people but don’t be stupid and blame the inanimate object for idiots and fools like you.
anti 2nd amendment and a libtard for sure.
That’s why soldiers carry inanimate objects into battle. Instead of hammers and cars. Duh.
Corrupt government and subversive “antifart” element are the reason the 2A was written in as an inalienable right.
Has nothing to do with the standing army or hunting.
Thing is you are not trained the least–you fake your military background.
What background would that be? You have not the faintest idea of who I am, Rebecca J.
Yep! That’s it!!! Chicago is a gun free town and no shootings there (Well maybe by the criminals). Defend yourself and don’t wait for the government because they wont be there.
Chickie, the surrounding counties are way to eager to sell their arsenals into the ghettos. Supports the argument that the NRA is in on the killings. And the US government is indeed to capable to take existing guns, block sales to everybody incl criminals, and stop the mayhem.
Hey antifa, Replace your words “guns” and “gun shops” with “liquor” and “Bars”.
Shall we ban them too? More people die from DUI than guns.
But wait, we take their Drivers license away.
Nope, they’re still driving.
Maybe we ban cars too????
Logic is useless with a crazed old woman that hates men.
Hey Du Mhan! They better stop selling knives, too as I heard they can be scary and dangerous!! 😉 Oh and maybe forks that can poke out your eyes!
Soldiers seem to prefer guns over liquor and cars to fight.
I bet you wouldn’t know the first thing about “being a soldier”. Maybe fodder.
What? You make no sense.
I’m actually happy you’re anti gun.
You are scary and that’s why I own a gun for protection.
I put no weight into anyone’s opinion that would put antifa (purposely not capitalized) in their moniker. Now go ahead and call me a troll but I love America, the 1st Amendment and the 2nd Amendment and you antifas should all move to Venezuela where socialism is working wonders and the people cant revolt! MAGA and before you can say “separated illegal immigrant children” 10 times fast I say check it out, Obama did it!
well said chickie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We rather out-create you, troll. Texas will be predominantly Hispanic by 2022. Your ilk’s sperm seems to be too obese too 🙂
Yep. Couldn’t fix your own corrupt countries so come and make ours a cesspool, too! Yay Libtard! Classy talkin’ bout sperm! But then again, you are a product of your own stupidity. Mom and dad bro and sis?
goddam right…well said….chickie for gov……
Word has it that fruit thieves or burglars came up against an armed property owner . If true , the rampant rippers of Honaunau were bound to get their deserves some day . Ask Keei – Honaunau neighborhood watch how bad the problem has been for how long . Antifa doesn’t know doo-doo . Open the west side shooting range , so home & property owners can be better trained to protect family and home .
Kaipo, thanks for that info. If true, hopefully the property owner is not in trouble. And hopefully that puts a damper on rampant agri theft.
if thieves then good shooting…..have to defend your property and now maybe a deterrent…..cant depend on the cops….depend on yourself…..
