Boy, 12, Charged After Allegedly Pulling A Gun On A Girl In Ewa Beach
Police charged a 12-year-old boy in an Ewa Beach gun case after he allegedly pulled a firearm on a girl, 13, on Fort Weaver Road, Hawaii News Now reported.
A 12-year-old boy is facing firearms and terroristic threatening charges after police say he pulled a gun on a 13-year-old girl in Ewa Beach and threatened to shoot her brother.
It happened at about 7:40 a.m. on Thursday, September 17, 2026, near a business on Fort Weaver Road. The Honolulu Police Department says the boy walked up to the girl and brandished a firearm.
The girl reported it at school later. Staff there found a gun in the boy’s backpack and called police, KHON2 reported.
Officers found the boy, confirmed who he was and arrested him on suspicion of first-degree terroristic threatening and a firearms charge known as place to keep.
The next day, Friday, September 18, 2026, police charged him, and a third count was added. Alongside first-degree terroristic threatening and place to keep, he now faces a prohibited weapons charge, Hawaii News Now reported.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
Police say he was not charged as an adult. His name has not been released because he is a minor, and he was still in police custody as of Friday, according to KITV.
No one was hurt. The investigation is continuing, and police have not released further details, including where the boy got the gun or which school he attends, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.
