Police and Hawaii Fire Department personnel met the man in the parking lot of a convenience store in Mountain View.
The victim was taken via ambulance to the Hilo Medical Center with potentially life-threatening injuries. He was admitted and later upgraded to stable condition.
While officers were responding to the initial call, police dispatch received another call from a man who reported he had been involved in a shooting incident outside his residence on Waimaka O Pele Road in Kopua Farm Lots subdivision in Mountain View.
The man told police he’d been shot at and then returned fire.
