An active-duty Navy sailor fatally shot two civilians Wednesday and wounded another before killing himself at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii, according to the military base.

The shipyard went on lockdown Wednesday while security forces responded to reports of a shooting that occurred about 2:30 p.m. local time. Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam tweeted about 5 p.m. that the shooter had been identified as a United States sailor.

The sailor shot at three male Defense Department civilian workers before fatally shooting himself, Rear Adm. Robert Chadwick said at a news conference. Two of the three workers later died. A spokesperson for Queens Medical Center told HuffPost Thursday morning that the third victim, a 36-year-old male, is now in stable condition.

Chadwick said officials dont yet know whether the shooting was targeted or random.

The base was put on lockdown for hours Wednesday afternoon after the shooting took place near the shipyards Dry Dock 2, the base reported when the lockdown was lifted.

HuffPost reached out to Queens Medical Center, Tripler Army Medical Center and Pali Momi Medical Center. Queens spokesperson Minna Sugimoto said that the hospitals emergency room had only treated the 36-year-old injured victim. Pali Momi also confirmed it had received one of the victims.

Base security and Navy investigative services are currently investigating, the base tweeted. The names of the victims will not be released until the next of kin have been notified.

The Honolulu Fire Department responded with six units and nearly two dozen personnel, department spokesperson Cpt. Scott Seguirant told HuffPost.

Were there in support, he said.
