Honolulu police were searching Saturday for three suspects in an early-morning fight in Kalihi that left an 18-year-old man in serious condition with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to an Emergency Medical Services Division report, paramedics took the man to the hospital after the shooting at about 4:55 a.m. near the Kapalama Post Office at 1217 N. King St.

All three suspects fled in a dark green Honda, police said.
