Mark pleads not guilty in Kapolei shooting

Advertiser Staff

A 28-year-old man accused of killing a police officer who was trying to arrest him at Kapolei Shopping Center pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges during his arraignment in Circuit Court today.

Shane Mark is accused of shooting Officer Glen Gaspar last week while Gaspar and other officers were attempting to arrest him on a warrant for attempted-murder charges stemming from a previous incident.

Gaspar, 40, was shot twice in the chest and once in the hip, and died a short time later.

Acting Circuit Judge Rhonda Nishimura set a tentative trial date of May 12 for Mark, who is being held in lieu of $7 million bail at O'ahu Community Correctional Center.
