Shooting reported at South Main in Harrisburg; VIDEO

HARRISBURG—A fatal shooting on South Main Street in Harrisburg is currently under investigation.

Initial reports had it that a man shot himself in his home after an attempted execution of a search warrant was served there, but we’re now learning that there was no warrant; county officials were merely acting on a tip about items in the home when they traveled to 1106 South Main to speak with a resident there.

The man was formerly a Harrisburg dispatcher; he was booted from there down to corrections at the Saline County Detention Center, but hasn’t been there for quite some time (at least two years if our sources are accurate).

The items in question were apparently stolen, and suspected of being in the garage at the location.

The suspect apparently allowed officers access to the premises. However, sources on-scene indicate, when officers went out to search the garage, the suspect shot himself.

Others presumably from the household (or maybe just from the neighborhood) arrived very shortly after 5. They were seen crying and very upset.

The name is being withheld until notification of the rest of the family.

We do have video, click the link below, “on-scene video.”

When we know more, we’ll bring it to you. Keep checking back or mark a feed for this post; we’ll put it right here.

  3. SouthernILGirl

    Stop reporting news closer and closer to my place!!!!
    (Like your reporting is what is bringing it closer, lol)

    Isn’t that near Danny Clayton’s mom’s house?

  4. SouthernILGirl

    Daily Register is reporting that it is at 1106 S Main and there is a report of coroner being there and shots having been fired.

    The guy shot himself and the neighbors say he was very strange. Not sure of anything else, it looks like a sad case of a suicide.

  6. hbg

    There Was a shotting on baker st in hbg tues with many people

  7. anon

    Was South of the intersection of Lillie Street, near that house with the “gravel lawn.”

  8. stihl

    not so sure the squad car in the picture was damaged during this event. you may check your sources on that one.

    • Yeah that’s just what we’re getting at the scene….lots of talk…we’re awaiting official confirmation of that and a couple of things that are equally interesting, but not gravely serious….we’ll get it straight pretty soon….

  9. seriously

    it was at the corner of Mable and Main St in Harrisburg.

  10. Shary

    That poor family. I hope they are able to comfort each other, suicide is so horrible for those left behind.

  11. idgas

    so dude shot himself, after police were called?? sounds a little harry to me… does this have anything to do with the shooting on baker st yesterday?

  12. Shary

    His name has been released by his ex-wife on facebook. Supposedly he is involved in the theft out at SIC, is this correct? If so, its still very sad.

  13. jr

    Ok so they searched the house then went to search the garage then he shot himself? Sounds to me like they didn’t do a very good job searching if he still had the gun. Hell he could of shot the cops doing the searching.

  14. opp

    Ok guys come on you cant let the daily register give better info then u

  15. opp

    Something I NOTICED a sense saline co got a new chief deputy thing have webt to hell. Before martin got caught up it was always his county in the paper. Now its clores county always in here humm.

  16. Dabby

    Harrisburg is going crazy! I agree with Shary- this is so sad for the family!

  17. Top Cat

    So opp,your saying it is Clores fault that these things are happening?

  18. 1.68

    @ opp How can you draw that correlation. I believe it is just law enforcement at work. Which is what these folks are paid to do.

  19. opp

    Nope not saying that yet just something i noticed. But all i got to say to every 1 is dirty cops alway vet caught they make think they are smarter them fort and martin but is it really worth losing everything you have. So you better straight n up or be ready to get a mew boyfriend

  20. 1.68

    @ opp please repeat that in words that can be understood? Maybe slow your typing down

  21. Top Cat

    Okay opps.I got you.Maybe opps did as I do sopmetimes .Insead of going after the new glasses he/she uses the old pair and mistakes are made .I know I should throw them away but I hate to throw away something that I can use a little bit. :)

  22. Sweet&Sour

    Oh Top Cat…lol… :)

    Something I am really good at: translating nonsense! (Also translating gibberish – like that of a 3 year old or someone who is speaking through a half chewed sandwich.)

    Opp said: “Nope not saying that yet just something i noticed. But all i got to say to every 1 is dirty cops alway vet caught they make think they are smarter them fort and martin but is it really worth losing everything you have. So you better straight n up or be ready to get a mew boyfriend”

    OPP meant:
    “No, I would not say that Clore is to blame. I was merely pointing out that trails of crime that are discovered by the Disclosure sometimes lead back to bad cops. It was the case with Martin and now that Martin has been outed as the ringleader by traditional media, those who used to have the run of his county are no longer publicly doing that which they used to do. If this example holds true, are the baddies getting away with things under Clore’s watch for a similar reason, or is it coincidence. It is an observational conjecture that I have made based on proximity of cases that have made papers recently. Additionally, I would like to state, as a warning to bad cops, that all bad cops will one day be caught. Fort and Martin serve as shining examples that no one is above the law. Be forewarned that should you feel that you are indeed above the law and smart enough not to get caught that you will lose everything and be sodomozed once you are incarcerated. Being a bad cop isn’t worth it.”

    That was so understanding SILGirl! I think even I can understand it now.

  25. eileen ovaclosa

    @SILgirl…kudos…BUT, “If this example holds true, are the baddies getting away with stuff under Clore’s watch for a similar reason, or is it coincidence”. This should have had a question mark at the end rather than a period. :) …just playin with ya !

  26. eileen ovaclosa

    And HEY to everybody , hope you’re staying warm. ;)

  27. Hardluck Hannah

    Yeah, eileen…we miss you.

  28. SouthernILGirl

    I noticed the lack of a question mark right after I submitted and KNEW it would be you or Errata who would catch me on it!!
