Police standoff in Dauphin County ends with arrest after over 30 hours

Police have taken Derrick Hutcherson, 36, into custody after a standoff that lasted over 30 hours. Both hostages are safe.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Police have taken a man into custody after he barricaded himself inside an apartment with hostages and shot a Lower Paxton Township woman. 

Derrick Hutcherson, 36, was taken into custody on Tuesday evening.

Authorities responded to a report of gunfire at Pennswood Apartments around noon on June 28.

Court documents reveal police had been called to the complex for a domestic disturbance earlier in the day. The victim had reportedly asked Hutcherson to leave.

Police say he shot a 25-year-old Lower Paxton Township woman and that the two are in a relationship.

The victim is also the mother of the couple's 2-year-old son.

Law enforcement say Hutcherson confessed to shooting the woman during a Facebook live video. 

Documents state Hutcherson was not happy that the victim called police.

The victim was reported to be in emergency care in the hospital. Police said Tuesday night that she had lost an eye due to her injuries.

Both hostages are uninjured, police said.

"I'm in shock because this is generally a nice complex," Joan Conrad of Dauphin County said. "We have minor stuff but not like this."
