Two men are arrested in the Waianae Kai Forest Reserve after an incident involving an unregistered rifle and an assault on law enforcement officers. A 48-year-old man was found with a loaded AR-15-style rifle, notably lacking a serial number, during a police response to reported gunfire. As police attempted the arrest, a 44-year-old accomplice intervened violently, injuring an officer.

This effort underscores the importance of community vigilance in reporting suspicious activities, with the DLNR encouraging public involvement through their hotline.
