Three people dead after shooting at Pearl Harbor

Three people are dead after a shooting at Pearl Harbor.

One of those was the gunman.

The man, an active member of the US Navy, shot four people before turning the gun on himself.

All of the victims were civilian members of the defence force.

The gunman was in uniform when he carried out the attack, according to witnesses.

The shooting happened in a shipyard across the harbour from the Pearl Harbor National Memorial.

Saturday will mark the 78th anniversary of the infamous attack on the US Naval base by Japan that led the Americans joining World War II.

Tom Elliott spoke with 9 News US correspondent Charles Croucher about the situation.
