HONOLULU - US Navy investigators on Thursday were trying to determine what prompted a sailor to shoot three civilians working at the historic Pearl Harbor military base in Hawaii, killing two of them, before taking his own life with the same gun.
The shooting took place at about 2.30pm Hawaii Standard time on Wednesday, three days before the 78th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec 7, 1941, which led the United States to declare war on Japan and enter World War II.The base, a combined US Air Force and Navy installation located 13km from the state capital of Honolulu, was placed on lockdown for about two hours after the incident.
All three people shot were civilians who were working for the Department of Defence at the time of the shooting. Two of them died at local hospitals hours after the attack.
