1 shot, 1 beaten in fray outside Kakaako bar

Advertiser Staff

Two men are reported to be in stable condition at The Queen's Medical Center this morning following a confrontation in front of Pipeline Cafe on Pohukaina Street in Kaka'ako.

Police were sent to the scene about 3:40 a.m. after a caller reported hearing four or five gunshots. Shell casings and what appeared to be blood were found outside on the ground near the nightclub, police said.

Police were looking for three vehicles possibly involved in the incident: a black Lincoln Navigator, an older white van and a blue Buick or perhaps a different make of car that left the area and headed mauka on Ward Avenue immediately after the shooting.

One of the injured individuals — a 25-year-old man — was transported by Honolulu Emergency Services officials to Queen's in serious condition for treatment of injuries sustained during a beating.

The other man was reportedly admitted to Queen's for treatment of a gunshot wound to the leg.
