A boy has died after apparently being shot Friday morning in Puna.
Responding to an 8:09 a.m. call, Hawaii Police and Hawaii Fire department medics arrived at a residence off of Oshiro Road in Mountain View. Initial reports said he suffered an injury from a BB gun, however, upon arrival medics learned that the victim suffered a gunshot wound.
The victim was transported to Hilo Medical Center in critical condition. He was pronounced dead on Saturday.
Detectives from the Area I Criminal Investigation Section have initiated a coroner’s inquest and an autopsy is scheduled Tuesday to determine the exact cause of death.
