For whatever reason, probably because of the recent OCCC shooting, I went back to one of the incidents that I still remember back in 1994 and made a note of. Since then a lot has changed for Stan Cook, the officer who was shot and survived that shootout. He has a site that he owns that details and historifies his experience.

Shootout with Cop in Waipahu
Horrific, sensational, wow Hawaii we’re almost like the OK Corral. The shootout between some meth head with an AK47 and HPD Officer Stan Cook in Waipahu was crazy to read in the paper and watch coverage of on the news.
Drugs have always made for a dangerous world, dangerous communities. I’m not heartless, but when things like this happen because of some drug crazed motherf***er and it ends up in the criminal’s death, I say alright!…
