Police are investigating but say right now they don’t know where the bullet came from.

Is it bad that the first thing that popped into my head was " whew, good thing it's too far for people to say it was a stray bullet from Koko Head."   ::)

Just because it's too far to be feasible does not mean they won't try and say it!

But if you angle it just right..... you can probably make it.   I'm guessing there is no chance GN moved to kailua now eh?  I hope the individual rushed to the hospital in serious condition is ok though.  I'm wondering how he got hit and what was it with.

Can't seem to find much info on this beyond "man was shot, nobody knows where it came from".

I'm well aquainted with this place as they are a former customer of mine. If it wasn't a pellet gun, maybe a stray round from one of the ranch's bordering Kalanianiole? The photo in the article shows the only open section of the restaurant and it faces a shopping center across the street. Not a lot of options for a bullet to enter unless he was seated on the lanai and even then there are intervening buildings and such.

If HPD's investigation takes the same amount of time they've spent on the "magic bullet" investigation we may never know.........

The morning news gave a description of a car that slowed down and shot a pellet gun into the restaurant. The man is expected to make a full recovery.

Serious condition from a pellet gun?!  I mean I know it could happen.... but  you probably need a pretty high pressure pellet gun for what I would consider "serious" condition.

A drive by with a pellet gun?  That's almost full on gangsta mode.

Some air rifles get close to .22 short power, a bit weaker than a 22lr, but could still kill someone if shot in the right place.  I'd agree most likely an air rifle as the sound would've been noticable anywhere close by.  Or could've been a shot from the neighborhoods nearby but it's a one in a million shot.  A handgun round can go around 1,000 yards or so, rifle round can go a mile half or more.
