KAPA�A � Two males were arrested and charged with first-degree attempted murder in connection with a drive-by shooting this weekend on the Eastside, county officials said yesterday.

A 26-year-old man is being held at police cellblock in Lihu�e. The other suspect, reportedly a 17-year-old male, is being held at a detention center on O�ahu.

The suspects were arrested in the vicinity of Lydgate Park after police discovered them in a parked car shortly after the shooting occurred.

A silver sedan was driving south on Kuhio Highway at roughly 11 p.m. on Friday when two shots were fired toward the McDonald’s as four customers were leaving the restaurant, officials said.

No one was injured, but the building sustained some damage.

Authorities, who were investigating the incident yesterday afternoon, had marked on either side of the restaurant’s main entrance where they found two bullets at about head level lodged in the building’s concrete base.

One of the witnesses, who would not be identified because of the pending investigation, said yesterday that he felt one of the bullets fly by his head before it struck the restaurant.

Police have not confirmed what type of gun was used in the shooting, according to county spokesperson Mary Daubert.

Officials did not release the identity of the adult man who was arrested.

The incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Patrick Balbarino at 241-1684, Police Dispatch at 241-1711, or Crime Stoppers at 241-1887.

" The Board and community would have been proud of their elected and government officials during the earth quake emergency. It was questioned by the Board that City Budget and Fiscal Services Director was the acting Mayor and Bennett confirmed this because the Mayor was on a tour of Okinawa and South Korea and Managing Director Wayne Hashiro was away on a trip to Japan. By 10:30 a.m., a signed Declaration of Emergency was sent to Washington D.C. to enable FEMA to come in and provide emergency funding.

" “The burial treatment plan is very flawed,” Huff said. “It is a clear violation of our rights as indigenous people.”
“We will be staying until further notice and until the state of Hawai�i acknowledges the property was fraudulently sold to Brescia,” Huff said.
