UPDATE 4:40 p.m.
Two seniors who were married were involved in the apparent murder-suicide at the Plaza at Waikiki today, according to HPD Lt. Deena Thoemmes in a news conference today.
An 86-year-old woman, who was living at the center, was with her visiting 92-year-old husband in a sitting area of the first level of center’s garage, Thoemmes said. The couple was alone at the time, but others in the area heard gunshots.
A weapon and a note were found at the scene. HPD declined to reveal what was on the note and did not identify the couple.
Thoemmes said that, because of COVID-19 restrictions, the husband had to sign in to visit.
