Boy possibly shot by BB gun at gas station

Three more possible BB or pellet gun incidents were reported Wednesday, adding to a half-dozen incidents that began last month.

Emergency Medical Services responded to a possible BB gun shooting of a 13-year-old boy shortly after 5 p.m. at a Chevron gas station at 94-485 Farrington Highway, near Waipahu Intermediate School.

EMS said the teen thought he had been shot with a BB gun. Paramedics assessed and treated the boy, and transported him in stable condition to a local hospital.

Police were investigating the possible shooting Wednesday evening.

Also Wednesday, police started a fourth-degree criminal property investigation following a report at 2 a.m. of a window damaged by a pellet or BB gun at a gas station on Kamehameha Highway in Pearl City.

A few minutes later, near the Pearl Highlands shopping center, there were reports of a vehicle being damaged by a BB or pellet gun.

No injuries were reported in those incidents, and no suspect has been located.

The Honolulu Police Department is investigating whether the two incidents are related.

Since Sept. 22, six other shooting incidents were reported in Wahiawa and Pearl City:

» On Sept. 22, a teenager sitting at a bus stop in front of Highlands Intermediate School was struck by pellet gun ammunition and suffered minor back injuries.

» Two days later, a man said he was shot in the hand while standing in a parking lot along the northern portion of Kamehameha Highway. The shooter apparently used a BB gun.
