Ewa Beach hostage crisis ends peacefully

 

A 30-year-old man surrendered to a police SWAT team after a hostage stand-off that lasted about four hours this morning in Ewa Beach.

Police said the man reportedly pointed a handgun at his 28-year-old girlfriend and pulled the trigger, but the gun did not discharge. The man then reloaded the gun and pointed it at his own head, but did not fire the weapon. The girlfriend escaped with her 4-year-old daughter, leaving her 7-year-old daughter with the man still in his home. She called police and reported the incident about 12:50 a.m.

The man gave himself up at 4:44 a.m. and police arrested him for investigation of second-degree attempted murder.
