Man is arrested in downtown shooting
Honolulu police arrested a 33-year-old man after a shooting in downtown Honolulu early Sunday morning.
Police said two groups of people got into a confrontation, and most of them had left the scene.
But the suspect returned, confronted a 24-year-old man and shot him at about 1:15 a.m., police said.
Paramedics took the man to the hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound in the back from 80 S. Pauahi St., according to an Emergency Medical Services report.
Responding officers arrested the suspect, who has no local address, near 1212 Nuuanu Ave. at 1:20 a.m.
Makakilo brush fire about 95% contained
Firefighters resumed battling the brush fire in Makakilo on Sunday.
Honolulu Fire Department spokesman Kevin Mokulehua said firefighters returned to the site at about 9 a.m. Sunday to battle three main hot spots. As of Sunday the brush fire was 95 percent contained, he said.
Firefighters have been battling the fire since Aug. 22, when two 7-year-old boys playing with a lighter accidentally ignited dry brush off Umena Street.
Firefighters also returned to another brush fire at about 2 p.m. Sunday to contain hot spots. The flare-ups were from a brush fire that occurred Friday in a gulch near the Waikele bunkers.
Mokulehua said the fire did not threaten any houses.
