A Hawaii man was fatally shot after opening fire on one civilian and two police officers.
The officers "were shot while attempting to apprehend a dangerous attempted murder suspect," Robert Cavaco, president of the Hawaii police union said in a statement Monday. "We are praying for the full and swift recovery of our injured brothers who risked their lives and sacrificed their safety today to protect the lives and safety of the public."
A fourth man was injured by a police vehicle, Logan said, adding that police were trying to determine if he was involved.
