DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — A call to 911 regarding an online threat led to a two-hour-long police barricade in Harrisburg.
On Jan. 3, at 9:39 a.m., Nofil Swati called Lower Paxton Township Bureau of Police to the 2000 block Kensington Way, claiming he wanted to report an online threat.
Officers at the scene approached the front door and attempted to speak with the only person inside the home. From inside the home, officers reported hearing what sounded like a single gunshot.
Additional officers responded and surrounded the home. They were able to speak with Swati inside the home, although he refused to come outside.
At 11:15 a.m., the suspect left the residence without struggle and was taken into police custody.
There were no reported injuries.
Swati was transported to the Dauphin County Judicial Center and is awaiting his preliminary hearing. He was denied bail.
