Good morning, Honolulu.

Honolulu police arrested a 29 year old man on Sunday evening after he allegedly struck his 64 year old mother and 77 year old father with a blunt object in Waikiki—officers later apprehended him at approximately 6:40 p.m. as emergency services treated his parents in serious condition.

In Kapolei, Hawaii’s construction industry celebrated 200 new journeyworkers from the Hawaii Carpenters Apprenticeship & Training Fund—this group includes the state's first millwrights who will help advance housing and infrastructure projects.
