HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -

U.S. Marshals have located and arrested a man suspected in a shooting at the Farm Show Complex Friday in Harrisburg.

According to state police, 62-year-old Beau Robinson was arrested Saturday evening in Springfield, Missouri without incident.

Police said they arrived on-scene around 10:44 a.m. Friday after a security guard noticed suspicious activity in the north parking lot. They found a woman who had been shot several times. She was taken to a local hospital, where her condition is still unknown. Dauphin County District Attorney Ed Marsico told abc27 it's believed she was shot at least once in the stomach.

The couple is from Missouri and were staying inside a camper to work as vendors for the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show.

Police believed Robinson was still inside the camper when they arrived, so they engaged in a standoff that ended around 2:40 p.m. Tear gas and flash bangs were thrown in the camper before police entered and discovered that Robinson was not there.

Marsico confirmed Saturday evening that Robinson will be extradited to Pennsylvania to face charges. Right now, the only charge state police plan to file is aggravated assault, Marsico said, but that could change as the investigation continues.
