Suspect allegedly shoots at girlfriend, man
A 44-year-old Mililani man was arrested after he allegedly shot at his girlfriend after discovering her asleep in bed with another man at the second man’s house half a mile away from the suspect’s own on Wednesday morning.
Police said the suspect removed several louvers, reached into the bedroom of the Kiilani Street home and pointed a handgun at the couple at about 8 a.m. The second man managed to wrestle the gun away from the first man, who then fled.
The first man then returned with a shotgun and fired into the house, HPD said, but no one was injured as the couple hid behind an interior wall.
Arriving police officers arrested the suspect, of a Kauluikua Place address, at the scene at about 10 a.m.
He is being held pending counts of attempted murder, first-degree burglary and several firearm violations.

Tire blowout closes runway
Flights were diverted from the main runway at Maui’s Kahului Airport on Wednesday after an interisland airliner blew out a tire upon landing.
The Maui News said no one was injured when the Pacific Wings airplane with eight passengers from Kona landed at the airport with a flat tire.
Maui District Airport Manager Marvin Moniz said interisland flights were diverted to the airport’s secondary runway.
Airport firefighters responded to the 8:21 a.m. report as a precaution, Moniz said.
Moniz says the plane’s tire was repaired, and the main runway was reopened later that morning.
The single-engine Cessna 208B Grand Caravan left Kona around 7:45 a.m.
