People share concerns about growing crime in Kaneohe area

When he refused, things got physical. The would-be robber tried to escape to a nearby car.  When he saw that the victim was chasing him, he fired several rounds.

Managers at Texaco gas station and a nearby McDonalds said detectives were in and out all morning looking for camera footage.

An eye witness who declined an on-camera interview told KITV4 she was inside and paid for gas when the shooting started. She ran back inside her car where her six-year-old daughter was waiting.

She drove off without getting the gas.

"I heard the shooting or gunfire and then I ran to my car. I was trying to gather myself because I was shaking.”

She added the shootout went on for at least two minutes while children were outside fundraising.

Nobody was injured, including the victim. However, many people walking through Kaneohe the next morning said they were shocked at what happened.

"Kaneohe is one of the safest parts of the island actually. I recently heard people saying cops were driving around here making rounds. It was surprising to me," said Philip Ignacio, Kahaluu resident.

This shooting follows an incident in which a security guard was stabbed to death in this same area.

"I think this was at night but this can happen day or night. It’s really sad to see the whole area become so dangerous," said Sheri Royal, Kaneohe resident.

Star Harringon from Maunawili says she will no longer go to that Texaco gas station. Instead, she will go to Kailua for gas.

The investigation is on-going and no arrests have been made.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call Honolulu Police Department.
