Kahuku man arrested in fight involving gun at Sandy Beach

A 21-year-old Kahuku man is in custody after he allegedly pulled out a gun during a fight at Sandy Beach Sunday evening.

Police said the fight occurred just before 6 p.m. between two men. A 23-year-old man tried to break up the fight, police said.

The suspect then took out a gun and threatened the 23-year-old man, fired the gun in air and fled, police said. He was later caught near the site of the fight on Kalanianaole Highway.

The suspect was arrested first-degree terroristic threatening, reckless endangering, first-degree theft, a drug violation and two fire arms violations.

    HPD should have shot the guy dead fleeing the scene with a firearm in hand. He’ll be out and about in the near future to take up his trade again no doubt.

        Please stop with the bigoted comments on this site. I’m probably not the only one who doesn’t want to read this stuff.

          And you’re not the only one dumb enough to even respond in any way to the old bag.

          My statement is about geography. I said nothing about race or ethnicity. As matter of fact, check the changing demography of the North Shore: It is mainly a caucasian area. So think again.

        • WaldoSong says:

          I never mentioned race. Look up the definition of bigotry. Your comments are ignorant and offensive. You think again.

    Who takes a gun to the Beach?

    • Pocho says:

      there’s a firing range nearby

        I believe the facts of the investigation will reveal there is no correlation between the shooter and a gun range participant. Let the facts of the investigation be shared with the public. Keep in mind shooter was charged with two firearm violations…an wondering it one it illegal possession of firearm. Aside from the aforementioned, the shooter will probably be another “Catch and Release”…

        • Bdpapa says:

          I kinda think those going to the range would not do what this guy did. They are pretty much responsible gun owners

      Don’t bring a bodyboard to a gunfight.

    Weekends and summertime have always been a bad time to enjoy Sandys. Unless you want to drink too much beer (starting at 9:00 in the morning), be loud, and look for trouble. Don’t blame this on Kahuku, there are plenty of townies that exhibit the same bad behavior. The gun makes this a much worse event, but I’m sure alcohol was the root of this. Why is drunkeness so blatantly allowed in the parking lot?

  4. HAJAA1 says:

    Kids today don’t know how to fight, so they need weapons. Pathetic, really.

    Would be interesting if SA could provide information as to whether these weapons are registered to the user, stolen, or borrowed.
