Suspect charged now with 31 Counts

todayJuly 18, 2015

Background

Macdon Thromman is now being charged with 31 counts — ranging from attempted murder
to kidnapping.

The 32-year-old girlfriend says she made several attempts to leave the house and finally managed to hand-off the baby to her father when her parents arrived, but she says Thromman refused to let her leave when her dad tried to step in and stop him.  Thromman reportedly said, “‘You like me shoot you too? I’ll shoot you and the baby. You like me f—ing kill you?'”

According to court documents, “Thromman pointed the gun at her and shot her in the area of her right outer thigh. After he shot her, Thromman told her to sit there. He told her he was going to shoot her in the back of the head. Thromman yelled at her that she was going to die that night.”

Court documents indicate the day after the standoff ended, Hawai’i Police returned to the home with a search warrant and collected a loaded rifle as evidence.  Police say the weapon was not registered within the state and Thromman had no permits to acquire a firearm.
