Maui police were looking for three suspects after several shots were fired during a home invasion robbery in Haiku.
Police responded to a report of shots fired at a Haiku home at about 10:35 p.m. Thursday and found three adult victims who said three males wearing hooded sweatshirts entered their home with one of them brandishing a shiny handgun.
The bandits forced one victim into a bathroom, then walked through the house. A second victim armed himself with an AR-15 rifle and fired a round at the robbers, nearly striking one.
The three suspects fled, firing four gunshots on the way out.
No one was hurt during the robbery, police said. One victim reported the suspects took $3,000.

Police said a firearm was recovered at the scene.
How ironic. Simply rolling out an AR-15 and missing with it was enough to thwart the home invasion, and this in the state with the most onerous gun control in the nation (perhaps with the exception of New York).
Hey, with all of that gun control, how did these perps manage to get a firearm anyway? I thought gun control was supposed to assure us this kind of thing wouldn’t happen?
