Woman charged for firing gun

A 37-year-old Kalihi woman was charged yesterday with firing a handgun at her boyfriend's car.

Eden Iha was charged with first-degree reckless endangering, terroristic threatening and other charges. She was being held on $33,000 bond last night.

Iha's 31-year-old boyfriend told police that he was upset with her on Sunday, so he packed her bags and left them at the front door of their home. The boyfriend then left for a friend's house to work on his car, police said.

A woman, identified by police as Iha, drove to the house, got out of her car and began shouting at the boyfriend. The woman then took out a handgun and fired a shot at his car, police said.

The two struggled for the gun, but police said the woman fired another shot, which hit the home. She then drove off. The man was not injured, police said.
