A male suspect is dead and three other people were seriously injured in an “officer-involved shooting” in Waianae Wednesday night, Honolulu Police Department officials said.

Officers responded to a weapons call on Puhinalo Place at about 6:07 p.m., according to HPD. Multiple individuals sustained gunshot wounds. The male suspect was pronounced dead at the scene,” an HPD spokesperson said.

She said HPD expects “investigators will be at the scene for a while “and will not be speaking to the news media tonight. An HPD news conference is planned for Thursday morning.

Honolulu Emergency Medical Services said paramedics responded to the shooting on Puhinalo Place at about 6:15 p.m. They assisted with the pronouncement of death for one man and treated two women, ages 32 and 34, and a 25-year-old man for gunshot wounds.

The three gunshot wound victims were taken to hospitals in serious condition. No age was given for the man who died.
