A standoff in Uptown Harrisburg ended Tuesday night after police found the home they had surrounded was empty.

Police realized the suspect they were after had fled the scene after they forced their way into the home on the 500 block of Camp Street around 7:15 p.m.

Harrisburg police Sgt. Gabriel Olivera, a department spokesman, said police responded to a shots fired call at 4:20 p.m. and found that a 14-year-old boy had been shot in the hand. The boy was treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital, Olivera said.

Police believe an unidentified adult male fired at a group of boys near his residence on the 500 block of Camp Street. This is about a block away from where gun violence has plagued the city in recent weeks.

After responding to the scene, police believe the suspect retreated into his house.

By around 6 p.m., as concerned neighbors watched from behind police tape, heavily armed officers had surround the home's perimeter, and an officer with a bullhorn attempted to coax the suspect out of the home.

Police remained in position for about an hour until the Harrisburg Police Department retrieved a warrant to enter the house. With a warrant in hand, police armed with shields and a battering ram barged through the front door and searched the premises.

About a half hour later, Olivera told news reporters no one was inside.

Police continue to search for the suspect.
