HPD: Officers Shot Man After Home Invasion, Assault On Officers..Police said the man entered a home, sat down and took off his shoes before returning to his car and initiating a violent assault on officers who responded.
Before he was shot by police on Wednesday, a man entered a Nuuanu home and exhibited “odd behavior” before returning to his vehicle and later assaulting three responding police officers, Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard said Thursday.
The information at this point is preliminary and the situation is under investigation, the chief said.
Ballard described what happened this way at a press conference Thursday:
At 8:10 p.m., police received a call about a burglary in progress at a Coelho Way residence. When “Officer 1” arrived, the 911 caller identified a man sitting in a vehicle as a person who had been in her home.
