Advertiser Staff
A 38-year-old 'Ewa Beach man turned himself in to Pearl City police Thursday for an Aug. 7 incident in which he allegedly fired a handgun at a car driven by a 31-year-old Pearl City man.
The younger man told police the older man threatened him with a handgun before he was able to speed away in his car. He said the older man chased him in his own car and shot at him as he was trying to get away.
Police said the younger man drove to the Pearl City police station to report the incident and that the alleged shooter stopped briefly in front of the station on Waimano Home Road before speeding away.
Police said the suspected shooter learned Thursday that police were looking for him and that he turned himself in. He was arrested on suspicion of first-degree reckless endangering and first-degree terroristic threatening.

HILO, Hawai'i — The University of Hawai'i-Hilo is conducting a research project to examine women's health in the East Hawai'i area.
The first phase of the study will be a questionnaire mailed to 2,000 households. Principal investigator Daniel Brown said it takes about 15 minutes to complete the questionnaire, and adult women who fill it out and mail it back will receive $20.
Brown is a professor of anthropology and director of the Minority Biomedical Research Program at UH-Hilo.
The research will cover many issues, but is focused on menopause and its symptoms, Brown said.
A smaller group of women will be selected from respondents to participate in a clinical study involving blood pressure and menopausal symptoms.
The study is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
The National Marine Fisheries Service is offering financial assistance for projects that promote the use of traditional indigenous fishing practices and that develop or enhance western Pacific community-based fishing in American Samoa, Guam, Hawai'i and the Northern Mariana Islands.
Projects may also request support for research materials and equipment.
Project proposals and completed grant applications must be received by 5 p.m. Oct. 25.
