killing her mother and himself, police sayBy Nelson Daranciang and Rod Antone
ndaranciang@starbulletin.com | rantone@starbulletin.comThe girlfriend, 45, had just moved out of the man's home and was moving into the Aiea home with her mother and 8-year-old son, said homicide Lt. Bill Kato.
The man showed up at the new residence, got into an argument and the shootings began, Kato said. A small-caliber gun was recovered.
The son, apparently a witness to the killings, called a relative at a liquor store in Waimalu about 9:45 p.m. to report the shootings, Kato said.
The relative then called 911, and police, ambulance and fire units were dispatched to 99-315 Honohono St., where officers found three victims with gunshot wounds.
The apparent gunman and his former girlfriend's mother were found dead at the scene. The wounded woman was taken to Queen's Medical Center, where she was reported in stable condition this morning.
The names of the victims were not released pending police and medical examiner's investigations.
The boy was not injured and was released to an aunt after questioning by police.
The boy told police the family arrived here from Korea two years ago.
The shootings are classified as a murder, attempted murder and unattended death, but police expect to reclassify the man's death to suicide pending an autopsy, Kato said.
Barbara Ngumezi, a neighbor, told the Star-Bulletin that she and her son were home when she "heard three gunshots, no screaming, at about 9:45 p.m. Just bam, bam, bam."
She said she met a family of three from Seattle last week who told her they were moving in next door. She said she noticed moving vans at the house Sunday and yesterday.
