Attempted Murder/Suicide In Bowling Alley


"KAILUA, HI - A woman attacked at a bowling alley in an attempted murder-suicide is recovering from her injuries. Officials say Teresita Paulo is now in stable condition at Queen's Medical Center.

"Paulo suffered critical injuries after her 49-year-old ex-boyfriend, Harlan Bruce Kamekona attacked her at Pali Lanes Tuesday morning, then stabbed himself.

"Hawaii's latest domestic violence case has shocked island residents. Many are asking if there were signs leading up to the attempted murder-suicide.

"Domestic violence experts say red flags often surface early in a relationship and may have in this one as well.

"The family of 49-year-old Harland Bruce Kamekona [said] that he and 38-year-old Teresita Paulo were having problems but nothing prepared them for such a violent crime.

"`I still no understand I still like you guys looking for answers yeah,` said Kamekona's sister Renee Shook.

"Just after 9 a.m. Tuesday police say Kamekona first fired a gun at Paulo but missed. He then pulled out a knife and stabbed her before repeatedly stabbing himself.

"`He wanted to kill her!` said Paulo's friend Tina Haight.

"The medical examiner says Kamekona died from excessive bleeding due to multiple stab wounds."
