At 6:20 p.m. yesterday, a 34-year-old man told police he was following his ex-girlfriend around in a car in Pearl City when she pulled over. Her "new boyfriend" got out of the car, pulled out a handgun, and shot at the 34-year-old, police said. He wasn't hit, but police said his car suffered minor damage.

Officers arriving at the Waimalu Safeway said the woman told a different story.

The woman told police she was the shooter, not her new boyfriend. Police then arrested her on suspicion of attempted murder.

Tests looking for gunshot residue will be done on the hands of both the woman and her new boyfriend to determine who the shooter is, police said.
