Man held in critical shooting in Kahaluu
Police captured a suspect in a shooting Sunday that left a 60-year-old man in critical condition.
The male suspect was being held on suspicion of second-degree attempted murder, police said.
The victim was shot in the head about 12:15 p.m. in a house on Waihee Road near Kamehameha Highway in Kahaluu, an official said.
Honolulu police scoured the area on foot and by air well into the evening. Police issued a traffic alert just before 3 p.m. but canceled it just after 5 p.m.
4 assisted in incidents on trails, at Pali
City crews came to the aid of people at three trails and near the Nuuanu Pali Lookout in separate incidents Sunday.
A 31-year-old woman fell at the beginning of the Waimano Trail and injured her hip at about 7:45 a.m. She had been on the trail for only about seven minutes, and firefighters were able to walk in and carry her out, said Fire Department spokesman Kevin Mokulehua.
There was no immediate word on her condition.
At 8:11 a.m. firefighters responded to a medical emergency at the top of Diamond Head. The Fire Department helicopter airlifted rescue personnel to the top of the crater. The helicopter took a man to a landing zone, where an ambulance was waiting. No other information on the man or his condition was immediately available.
A few minutes later, at 8:19 a.m., firefighters responded after an 18-year-old woman started feeling sick about three-quarters of the way to the top of the Koko Crater trail. A nurse who happened to be hiking on the trail tended to the woman until firefighters arrived, Mokulehua said. Because the helicopter was involved in the Diamond Head rescue, firefighters hiked up the trail and reached the woman at about 8:43 a.m.
The woman started feeling better, but the Fire Department helicopter, which had finished the Diamond Head rescue, was used to take the woman down from the trail to a waiting ambulance at 9:02 a.m., Mokulehua said.
At about 5 p.m., meanwhile, a 31-year-old visitor fell about 40 feet near the Pali lookout. She was transported in serious condition.
