Makaha father allegedly shoots son in neck with BB gun
A 19-year-old man was taken to the hospital tonight after his father reportedly shot him in the neck with a .22-caliber BB gun in Makaha, according to police radio communications.
Paramedics treated and transported the man to the Queen’s Medical Center in stable condition about 7 :30 p.m.
An Emergency Medical Services report said the man had an apparent gunshot wound, but police radio communications said the man called to report that his father had shot him in the neck with the BB gun. The incident happened near Farrington Highway and Jade Street.
Police opened a second-degree attempted murder case, and no one was arrested as of 9 p.m.

I wish you folks would stop calling them “bb guns.” .22 cal pellet rifles can fire a projectile at up to 900-1100 feet per second. (by way of comparison, a cal. 45 colt 1911 fires one at ~800 fps and a 9mm 145 gr. round travels in the neighborhood of 1100+ fps.) The difference in destructive capability is in the mass of the projectile. Still, even a .22 lead air rifle projectile traveling at that speed has significant capability of causing harm to living things.
Maybe those were the words used on the police radio communication?
