HONOLULU (AP) — A corrections officer charged with murder in the shooting death of his mother was crying next to a gun safe in the garage when an officer arrived at the Waianae home, court documents said.

A judge ordered that Anthony Pereira be held on $1 million bail on charges including second-degree and kidnapping. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday. According to court records, his case is referred to the public defender’s office. However, an attorney had not yet been assigned to represent him as of Tuesday.

On Friday afternoon, a woman ran into the Waianae police station, pounded frantically on the safety glass, saying repeatedly, “he shot her and he’s coming after me,” according to probable cause documents filed in court. Only identifying him as “Tony,” the woman said, “I was held at the house by Maili beach and he shot her.”

The woman’s relationship to Pereira is not yet clear, said Dave Koga, a spokesman for the Honolulu prosecutor’s office.
