Prosecutors have charged a 54-year-old man after he allegedly shot a 36-year-old man during a violent affray over the weekend in Puna.
Gregory Martin Glaser of Mountain View was charged Tuesday with second-degree assault, attempted first-degree assault, first-degree terroristic threatening and unlawful ownership or possession of a firearm.
His bail was set at $70,000.
Patrol officers responded to a report of an affray fronting a residence on Road 2 in the Hawaiian Acres subdivision shortly after 5 p.m. Saturday. Upon arrival, officers detained two men, one of which had a gunshot wound to his shoulder, the Hawaii Police Department said.
The injured man was taken to Hilo Medical Center where he was treated and released for the non-life-threatening injury.
Police arrested the other man and released him pending further investigation.
According to a police preliminary investigation, a violent affray occurred involving five to six individuals, several of whom were armed with machetes, when a suspect discharged a firearm, striking the 36-year-old man.
During the investigation, police said Glaser was identified as the shooter. Officers located him at his residence Sunday and arrested him.
