Summary

Officials say at least 6 people have died in the “unprecedented” wildfires that are raging through Hawaii’s Big Island and Maui. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green says much of Lahaina, the historic whaling village and tourism hotspot on Maui, is destroyed. Hurricane Dora and high pressure over the northern Pacific have created high winds that are moving westward. Kelly Bryce is a charter boat captain who was asked by the Coast Guard to help with the rescue efforts. He joins AC360 to describe what he’s been seeing and hearing while helping people to safety. Plus, FBI agents shot and killed a Utah man while attempting to arrest him for allegedly making threats against President Biden ahead of his visit to the state. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe tells AC360 this was a “very logical investigation” of somebody who was escalating his threats that could end in potential violence.
