Hawaii island police are seeking witnesses of a March shooting that seriously injured a 37-year-old man in North Kohala.
Officers responded to a report of a person who appeared to be in distress in the area of the Waianaia Gulch near the 24-mile marker on Route 270 on the morning of March 27.
When they approached the 37-year-old man, police said officers heard a single gunshot that came from an unknown location and struck the man.
Police said the victim was taken to a medical facility in serious condition.
