An hours-long barricade situation involving a 48-year-old armed man who was holed up in a Waikiki hotel room ended early Friday after police officers fatally shot him while he was holding a gun, according to Honolulu Police Chief Arthur “Joe ” Logan.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s Office had yet to release the man’s name pending notification of his next of kin. During a news conference Friday morning at HPD headquarters, Logan said the man had a local address and was staying as a guest at the Ohia Waikiki Studio Suites at 2280 Kuhio Ave. He was the only person in the unit when he barricaded himself in the room.

Police had responded to a call from hotel staff at about 1 :45 p.m. Thursday to assist in escorting a man off the property from a fifth-floor unit. Upon arrival, officers heard a gunshot fired from within the unit, prompting an evacuation of all guests from the building.

Suicide-by-cop.

2 assailants shot by CCL-holding man in Loop

Deanese Williams-Harris, Chicago Tribune
A concealed carry license holder shot two men who opened fire at him as he walked in the Loop early Saturday, Chicago police said.

Shortly before 3:40 a.m. a 31-year-old man was walking to his parked vehicle in the first block of West Randolph Street when a red SUV passed him and someone inside opened fire in his direction, police said.

The CCL-holding 31-year-old drew his gun and fired several rounds back, hitting two assailants in the SUV.

That’s when the 31-year-old, who also has a FOID, spotted another assailant jump out of his car and run away, police said.

Hits on two thugs inside a moving vehicle while under fire- who is this dude, another Jerry Miculek? Thanks for the links, Gun Bunny. Did you mention an Uzi?

Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.
– Harry S. Truman
