A man was shot Monday morning after he attacked security guards with a knife at the federal courthouse in Harrisburg, authorities told PennLIve.

District Attorney Fran Chardo said a guard shot the man between 8:45 and 9 a.m. at the Sylvia H. Rambo U.S. Courthouse on the 1500 block of North Sixth Street.

The man’s injuries were non-life-threatening, Chardo said. He said the FBI is leading the investigation into the shooting.

The courthouse’s guards, who work for the US Marshals Service, were not hurt, according to Chardo.

He said charges are expected to be filed against the man. His identity has not been released.

Harrisburg police and the Dept. of Homeland Security were seen at the courthouse after the Monday morning shooting. Photos published by CBS 21 showed shattered glass on one of the front courthouse windows.
