Honolulu:

Hawaii News now reports:

A special agent with the US Department of State was in police custody Saturday in connection with a 2nd degree murder investigation after allegedly shooting a 23-year-old Kailua man in a Waikiki McDonald's shortly after 2:30 am.

Honolulu police said the victim was shot during a confrontation involving four men at the Kuhio Avenue McDonald's between Seaside Avenue and Royal Hawaiian Avenue.

The victim, identified by family and friends as Kollin Kealii Elderts, was taken to the Queen's Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Elderts was a Kalaheo High School graduate.

Christopher W. Deedy, a 27-year-old from Arlington, Virginia, was arrested at the scene.

AP news reports that authorities said Deedy was released from police custody at 5:15 a.m. Monday. His first court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 17.

Earlier, in the Seattle suburbs, one possibly ineffective round fired:

MERCER ISLAND, Wash. —

An off-duty Secret Service agent fired a shot at a prowler who the agent found in his Mercer Island backyard Sunday night.

Sources tell KIRO 7 that the agent saw the prowler videotaping the agent's daughter through a window, armed himself and went outside to confront the person. The Mercer Island Police Department said the prowler made a motion or gesture that made the agent think his life was in danger, so the agent fired one shot.

It's unclear whether the prowler was armed or hit.

A police K-9 unit was only able to track the prowler's scent to the street in front of the agent's home, which has led police to believe that the person may have fled in a vehicle.

Investigators said they are checking area hospitals to see if anyone shows up with a gunshot wound.

Mercer Island police guarded the agent’s home overnight.

No guns for pigs, damnit.
