(KAIR)--A seven hour standoff that began Wednesday evening at a south Atchison residence, ended early Thursday morning with a 57-year-old Atchison man in custody.

Arrested was Porter Webb, who Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson told MSC News is believed to have pulled the trigger during a non-fatal early Wednesday evening shooting. "We responded to the [Amberwell Atchison] hospital because a 47-year-old male had been taken there by private vehicle with a non life-threatening gunshot wound. We believe the shooting occurred outside a residence in the 1100 block of South 7th." 

It was that location, now identified as the residence of Webb, where the standoff happened. 

Wilson told MSC News numerous methods were used in an effort to get Webb to leave the home and surrender.

With those attempts, including deployment of a chemical agent, providing no results, a Kansas Highway Patrol robot was used to enter the home, where it searched for Webb, determining that he was not in the main area of the residence.

That’s when, according to Wilson, the Police Department’s Special Response Team entered the home, with their search leading to Webb, who was hiding in a crawlspace below the residence.

Webb was taken into custody around 12:45 Thursday morning, and then transported by Atchison County EMS to Amberwell Atchison prior to being booked into the Atchison County Jail.

He faces charges related both to the shooting and the following standoff.

Wilson told MSC News both law enforcement and Webb avoided any serious injuries, which, he said “was [the] goal during the seven hour standoff.”

Along with the Kansas Highway Patrol and EMS, the Atchison County Sheriff’s Office provided assistance during the standoff.

Editor's note: below is how the story developed Wednesday night.

Update: The standoff continued as of 11:25 Wednesday night, with Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson telling MSC News officers on the scene have confirmed that while the suspect remains inside the home, located in the 1100 block of South 7th Street, no one else is inside. 
Wilson said the Atchison Police Department Special Response Team has the perimeter of the house secure, and a Kansas Highway Patrol "robot is making its way through the residence but has not yet located the 57-year-old suspect."  

Update: At 9:15 Wednesday night, Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson confirmed for MSC News that attempts were continuing in the effort to see the shooting/standoff suspect leave the home.
