Honolulu police arrested a 16-year-old boy for allegedly selling the stolen gun that went off at Highlands Intermediate School in Pearl City, injuring two students.
The teen was picked up on suspicion of a firearms offense on Wednesday morning.
Police said the boy, also a Highlands Intermediate student, sold the .45-caliber Glock pistol to the 14-year-old student who was showing it off on May 23 when the gun discharged. The bullet went through one 14-year-old’s jacket and caused minor injuries to another 14-year-old boy when it struck a wall, police said.
The gun is registered to a 47-year-old Alewa Heights man who failed to tell police the gun was missing until after they contacted him about the shooting.
