The Aloha State has been wrestling with how to square its strict gun laws with a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling expanding the right to bear arms.

Cherell Keamo, 36, Courtney Raymond-Arakaki, 34, and Jessyca Amasiu, 29, were identified as the three women killed in the Saturday night rampage.

A dispute over a party at a neighbor’s property preceded the shooting Saturday night, which left four dead.

Honolulu police promised to step up officer patrols in the area, where residents have long felt neglected by city services.

The shooting is the latest in a spate of recent gun violence in Waianae.

The ex-Honolulu businessman was convicted of murder in connection with the 2016 killing of Johnathan Fraser, among other charges. His sentencing is set for late November.

Some community members want to see retired police officers stationed on high school campuses, while others say after-school activities and mental health support would be more effective.

The new law lets some connect with Native Hawaiian and other cultures through traditional weapons. It’s also generating concern about increased use of weapons.

Family of the 91-year-old patient who died in 2022 after the ambulance in which he was riding burst into flames accused Honolulu EMS of wrongful death and negligence.

Hawaii Health & Harm Reduction Center is pursuing a formal partnership with Honolulu EMS that would allow its outreach workers to reach more patients.
