One dead, one injured in Harrisburg shooting: police

One man is dead and another person is injured after a shooting on Monday afternoon in Harrisburg, according to police.

Harrisburg police Sgt. Kyle Gautsch said officers responded to the area of 16th and Hunter streets around 2 p.m. for reports of shots fired. At the scene, they found one dead man and a second person injured. Gautsch said though the second person was a male, he could not confirm his age.

The injured person is expected to survive.

Gautsch called the shooting an isolated incident, contained to those two. Their identities are being withheld pending notification to their next of kin.

Gautsch acknowledged that there was a separate shooting in the same intersection last week, but said it is too early to determine if they are related.

Officers will be on scene continuing their investigation for a little longer and intend to tow two vehicles, Gautsch said.

Gautsch asked that anyone in the area who may have seen something or knows anything about the shooting is asked to contact Harrisburg police.
