Honolulu police have arrested a 15-year-old boy for attempted murder in a weekend shooting, a quick break in a case that had residents on edge.

  • A 15-year-old was taken into custody over a shooting in the Halawa housing area last Saturday.
  • The charge is attempted murder, meaning the victim survived.
  • Another juvenile was involved, pointing to a case driven by young people rather than organized crime.
