A 19-year-old man was arrested Wednesday afternoon for allegedly shooting and injuring a woman at an illegal game room in Waianae.
The Honolulu Police Department arrested the suspect at around 4 p.m. in connection with the shooting on Saturday just before 4:30 a.m.
HPD reported that the suspect and two other unidentified males entered a Waianae residence, where the game room was operating, and demanded money. The suspect had a gun, and one of the other males had a bat.
The injured woman, who is 35 years old and was a patron of the game room, intervened and a “scuffle ensued,” according to police.
The suspect allegedly fired his gun multiple times, and one of the rounds ricocheted off the ground and hit the woman’s foot. She was taken to a hospital afterward but her condition was not released.
The suspects fled, but police said the gunman was identified, located and arrested for suspicion of first-degree robbery, first-degree assault and several firearms offenses.
