Barricaded man forces highway closure on North Shore

Advertiser Staff

Honolulu police have shutdown Kamehameha Highway at the intersection with Joseph P. Leong road on the North Shore while they pursue a man who barricaded himself in his home.

The department's Specialized Services Division is en route to the scene, which is taking place on a rural property backed by a tree line.

It is unclear why the man has barricaded himself in his home but officers have seen him running around the property with a backpack.

Officers have been unable to pass the gate surrounding the home because several pit bulls are loose and roaming the property.
