Investigators are still trying to determine why a U.S. Navy sailor opened fire at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard on Wednesday, killing two civilian workers and injuring one other before killing himself.
Sources have identified the gunman as Gabriel Romero, an active duty sailor assigned to the USS Columbia.
The two victims who died, both men, were initially taken to hospitals in extremely critical condition. A third gunshot victim, a 36-year-old man, remains in guarded condition at the Queen’s Medical Center.
The identifies of the victims have not yet been released.
The shooting at Drydock 2 threw a tight-knit community into mourning. Non-essential shipyard employees were told to stay home from work Wednesday night and Thursday.
Normal operations on base were set to resume Friday.
“Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and everyone involved,” said Rear Admiral Robert Chadwick, commander of Navy Region Hawaii. “This is certainly a tragedy for everyone here.”
