Police Maj. Frank Fujii said Silva launched an unprovoked attack on the officer at 5 a.m. Sunday at the Makaha 7-Eleven, punching him in the face and threatening to kill him. Just as the officer was about to black out, he reached for his handgun and shot Silva.

Silva said the officer shot him twice in the stomach, causing him to fall back, and as he lay on the ground, the sergeant shot him again in the stomach. "I said, 'Nough.'"
