UPDATE:
The standoff at the Days Inn ended after 11 p.m. when the officers entered the room and found the suspect, Joe Pavelic, dead.
The Dauphin County SWAT team and Susquehanna Township Police were assisted on the scene by the FBI because Pavelic was wanted by federal agents for several bank robberies.
That included a bank robbery at a Metro Bank and another bank in Swatara Township.
The standoff started around 7 p.m. Police attempted to communicate with him throughout the standoff, but when they stopped getting responses around 11 p.m., they then fired a chemical agent. Once they went in, they found Pavelic deceased.
