Hawaii News Now, citing police sources, reported the man first stabbed his landlord after she tried to evict him, then fired at responding police officers and set fire to the home.

, Honolulu Police Chief Susan Ballardidentified the two officers who died as Tiffany Enriquez, a seven-year veteran, and Kaulike Kalama, a nine-year police veteran. Both were parents, Ballard said.Ballard confirmed police responded to a stabbing after receiving a call around 9 a.m. from a woman who said she needed help. That woman was transported to the hospital after she was found by a responding officer with a stab wound to the leg, and Ballard said she was unsure of the woman's condition.

It's unclear what kind of gun Hanel used, though he didn't have a permit to own a firearm, Ballard said. Both officers were wearing bulletproof vests, the chief said. Ballard said Hanel, who is"in his 60s," along with two women she didn't identify but who were last seen inside the home, are unaccounted for.

Hanel was living in the home of Lois Cain, according to court documents. Cain recently sought to have Hanel evicted, and a neighbor said she saw Cain being loaded into an ambulance on Sunday with knife wounds.
