At 11:15 p.m. Saturday, Honolulu police were summoned to a Waianae residence after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a neighbor using a front-end loader to “ram multiple cars into the home.”
According to authorities, a quarrel between neighbors in Hawaii on Saturday night developed into a shooting that killed four people after one man attempted to push numerous automobiles into a residence using a front-end loader.
The 58-year-old driver of the front-end loader, a big construction machine used to scoop and move materials, is suspected of killing three ladies before being shot and killed by another man, Honolulu police said in a news release Sunday. Two more persons were shot and seriously injured. According to a statement, police arrested a 42-year-old man on scene and charged him with second-degree murder in the killing of the other gunman.

Honolulu cops were summoned to a Waianae residence at 11:15 p.m. Saturday after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a neighbor using the front-end loader to “ram multiple cars into the home,” police said.
Before police arrived, the man operating the heavy machinery opened fire on multiple people attempting to exit the carport, according to police reports. The shooting murdered three women, ages 29, 34, and 36.
According to authorities, a 31-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman were taken to a local hospital to be treated for life-threatening injuries sustained during the incident. It was not immediately known if they were expected to survive. During the confrontation, a man who lived in the house fatally shot the suspect with a revolver, officials say.
Investigators then learned that the suspect had also attempted to shoot at four 55-gallon drums pulled in the front-end loader “containing an unknown fuel,” according to police. The Honolulu Fire Department’s Hazmat crew was eventually dispatched to securely remove the drums. Police have yet to identify any of the victims or the two guys who engaged in gunfire. USA TODAY sent a message for Honolulu police Monday morning, but it was not immediately returned.
