A man shot and killed two police officers Sunday as they responded to a home in a leafy neighbourhood beneath the rim of a famed volcanic crater near Waikiki Beach, authorities said.

The officers were responding to a call from a woman who said she needed help and found her with a stab wound to her leg, police said Sunday. The suspect opened fire as police arrived, killing Officers Tiffany Enriquez and Kaulike Kalama, said Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballard. The house caught fire, and Ballard said the suspect as well as two women who were in the home were unaccounted for.

Cain's condition was not immediately confirmed, nor was the suspect's. Flames emerging from the home soon spread to several others. Honolulu fire said five homes were "complete losses." Ian Felix, a Honolulu resident and combat veteran with medical training, told the AP he happened to be walking by when he saw a woman lying on the ground with a pool of blood coming from her leg. He applied pressure until the first police officer arrived and put a tourniquet on it, Felix said. Moments later two more officers arrived, and Felix said he then heard two gunshots.

"Defendant does NOT have a Rental Agreement to occupy the premises and Defendant has no ownership interest in said premises," read a complaint for eviction that Cain filed last week in court. "Despite repeated demands, Defendant has failed and refused to vacate the premises." Nearby resident Dolores Sandvold said she heard screaming and gunshots and saw Cain being carried to an ambulance. She said she was led out of the area and that she had yet to be allowed back into her home.
