KAILUA-KONA — Hawaii Island police on Tuesday continued to investigate a shooting incident in the Hawi area of North Kohala on Monday.
At approximately 9:45 a.m., patrol officers responded to a report of a gunshot fired on a property located in the 55-3500 block of Alaalae Road in Hawi.
Officers determined that a 65-year-old man attempted to evict a 27-year-old man, identified as Lucas Wolf, and a 28-year-old woman, identified as Britney Wolf, from his property on Alaalae Road. During the 65-year-old man’s attempt to evict the couple, they exhibited aggressive behaviors toward the victim.
As the victim retreated from the immediate area, police said, Britney Wolf fired a single shot from a weapon. The victim was not injured, and he subsequently notified police.
Upon officers’ arrival, Lucas Wolf was located on foot and arrested for terroristic threatening in the second degree. Britney Wolf was located within a parked vehicle, however, she refused to comply with officers’ orders to exit the vehicle and made several statements which led officers to believe she was in possession of a firearm.
The department’s Special Response Team (SRT) responded to the scene and eventually, crisis negotiators were able to establish communication with the suspect who remained within the parked vehicle.
As the incident continued, the suspect fired two additional gunshots and as a result of one of the gunshots, the SRT’s armored vehicle, known as the BearCat, sustained damage.
At approximately 5:11 p.m., Britney Wolf surrendered to police and was arrested with no further incident of terroristic threatening in the first degree.
Upon execution of a search warrant, detectives with the Area II Criminal Investigation Section recovered one shotgun, one rifle, one semi-automatic handgun, spent ammunition casings, and numerous rounds of unspent ammunition from within the vehicle the female suspect was located.
Lucas Wolf and Britney Wolf were transported to the Kealakehe Police Station as detectives with the Area II Criminal Investigation Section continue this investigation.
