Motorway shootings kill one and injure two

A Hawaii man shot at two cars which had stopped in traffic, then continued on a shooting rampage that left one woman dead and two others injured, Honolulu police said. The shootings, which included shots fired at police, spanned a wide area of Oahu and appeared to be random, said Major Richard Robinson, head of the police Criminal Investigations Division. Toby Stangel, of Haleiwa, got out of his car at 12.43am, walked up to vehicles stopped in an intersection and opened fire, police said. A 54-year-old woman was shot multiple times and workers at a nearby supermarket told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser they heard five shots. The woman was taken to a Honolulu hospital where she was pronounced dead, Honolulu police spokeswoman Michelle Yu said. Stangel, 28, opened fired again about ten minutes later on the H-1 motorway, the major artery in Honolulu, shooting a 24-year-old woman, police said. The woman's sister identified the victim to the newspaper as Emelou Asuncion and said she had been shot twice in the shoulder while driving to work. The victim was in a serious condition, police said. Another motorist shot and was in a critical but stable condition, police said. Stangel also fired at officers who were not injured. He was arrested on suspicion of several counts of attempted murder after he was spotted in his BMW, police said. He now faces murder charges. From / Gulf News
