The search is over for a man who authorities say, walked into a Harrisburg Area Community College classroom and took his girlfriend hostage.
The suspect was caught around 8:30 under the I-83 bridge near PennDOT.
Police say his girlfriend was with him, and she appeared to be beaten.
Harrisburg police say around 7 Wednesday night, a domestic situation spilled out of the home and into a classroom at Harrisburg Area Community College. Authorities say a man walked into his girlfriend's class, inside the Lehrman Arts Center, possibly with a gun, and took her out.
At that time HACC posted this on its website: "Harrisburg campus closed. Domestic dispute. Harrisburg PD searching for individuals. Remain in classroom. If not in a classroom, exit the campus."
About one hour after everything started, police cleared the scene and HACC posted this :HACC Harrisburg campus is now open. Harrisburg PD declares campus secure. Classes resume as normal.
Harrisbùrg Police then started searching for the two, in and around the city, and Swatara Township. Two sources tell us the boyfriend beat her up, along the way.
The man is now in police custody at the Harrisburg Police Station.
