Honolulu, HAWAII — A Hawaii Fire Department firefighter continued CPR on a robbery suspect who was shot by Honolulu Police Department while trying to avoid apprehension in a flood control canal adjacent to Kalakaua Ave. in Honolulu late Monday afternoon.

HPD and HFD cut fencing and used a ladder to access the alleged robber from the flood control canal and bring him to EMS and the waiting ambulance.  

The suspect was reported dead by HPD at 5:57pm Hawaii time.
