BLOOMING GROVE, Pa. — Two troopers were ambushed outside a state police barracks in northeastern Pennsylvania during a late-night shift change, leaving one dead and another injured, and authorities were questioning a person of interest, state police said Saturday.

One trooper was leaving the barracks in Blooming Grove, Pike County, and another was arriving when shots were fired at 10:50 p.m. Friday, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said.

A person of interest identified as Jeffrey Hudak, 48, was being questioned by police, Trooper Connie Devens said.

"No one is in custody or under arrest," she said. "Mr. Hudak is being questioned as a person of interest."

Noonan confirmed that one trooper was killed and the other was injured and taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Scranton, where he was in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

He provided few details on the shooting but said the attack seemed to be directed at state police.

"This has been an emotional night for all of us," Noonan told reporters.

Law enforcement officials from across the region, including New York and New Jersey, descended on northeastern Pennsylvania to help with the search on foot and by helicopter. The Blooming Grove barracks is in a wooded area, surrounded by state game lands.

At a news conference after daybreak Saturday, Noonan said authorities were following several leads.

"We can't say that the situation is completely in hand," he said.

Noonan said police did not believe the general public was at risk, but they are asking everyone to be on the lookout for anything suspicious.

"People in the area can come and go freely but should be alert," he said.

Several roads around the barracks, including parts of Interstate 84, were closed Saturday morning. Blooming Grove is a township of about 4,000 people about 35 miles east of Scranton.

Gov. Tom Corbett said he was praying for the slain trooper's family as well as the injured colleague.

"Every attack on an officer of the law is an attack on our state, our country and civilized society," Corbett said in a statement. "The incident in Blooming Grove shows, once again, that our first responders face constant danger in order that the rest of us may live in peace and safety."

This is incorrect. Attacks are often personal. They are done for personal misdeeds to people who have done wrong. Actions have consequences.

This is by far the most interesting quote of the story:

Gov. Tom Corbett wanted to visit the area, but officials warned him to stay away when a “a very dangerous, armed criminal” has not been caught, the Times-Tribune reported.

Still, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan assured residents the shooter is not believed to be dangerous to the public.

How could that be unless they know the guy is targeting cops specifically?

PA Troopers Got Off Easy

by Christopher Cantwell • September 14, 2014

One Pennsylvania State Trooper is dead, and another is wounded, after they were ambushed outside their barracks in Pike County Saturday night. “It’s a cowardly attack. It’s an attack upon all of us in society” said Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan. Social media is abuzz with messages of support for the widow of Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson, and her two sons who have now lost their father. The wounded trooper, Alex Douglass, was in stable condition Saturday after surgery at Geisinger Medical Center in Scranton, reported The Morning Call.

Police from three states have descended upon the Poconos to search for the assailant, who has yet to be captured or identified. Police are being tight lipped, and are not disclosing whether the barracks had CCTV cameras, or whether there is any evidence at all. One man was being questioned as a person of interest, but not a suspect. Police now suspect the shooter to have left the area, having thoroughly searched for any sign of him, and found none.

Right now, we know nothing about the shooter. We don’t know his identity, his motives, his political beliefs, or whether he was a good or bad person. I hope that it stays this way, because I hope he is never caught.

What we do know is that Dickson became a law enforcement official in 2007, and had recently transferred to the Blooming Grove barracks a few months ago from Philadelphia. For the last seven years, he has threatened, intimidated, harassed, kidnapped, assaulted, and robbed an immeasurable number of people. We know this, because had he not done so, he would not be a police officer. That’s what a police officer is; a full time, well paid, violent enforcer of politicians’ edicts.

At some point in his life, Dickson likely had numerous career options. He could have been a construction worker, a food service professional, he could have gone into computers, medicine, psychology, or any number of different professions. Instead, he joined a gang. He decided to pick up a gun, and threaten the lives of his fellow Pennsylvanians. Instead of being productive or creative, he made a conscious decision to take from others by force. He did it for the same reasons other people join other gangs, money, power, and respect.

Every traffic stop he engaged in was a death threat. Every arrest a kidnapping. Every fine a theft. He was paid through taxation, a global system of coercion that presently enslaves the entire human race. He was an active participant and willing co-conspirator in the system of oppression that makes wars possible. Should Dickson have pulled you over on the highway, and you attempted to evade him, he would use whatever level of force was necessary to stop you, up to and including running your car off the road and shooting you in the face, with a gun you were forced to pay for.

After choosing this lifestyle, and having lived it for seven years, I’d say a quick death from an assassin’s bullet is really quite merciful. Should Dickson have been forced to make restitution for his crimes, he would easily have to work well beyond what most people consider retirement age, and even then would likely fall well short of making all of his victims whole before dying of old age.

If his death prevented a single traffic stop, then his killer is a hero. If it saved the taxpayers of Pennsylvania a single penny, then his killer is a freer of slaves. If it makes one young adult think twice about becoming a cop, then his killer saved an immeasurable number of people from theft, assault, imprisonment, and death.

If there were enough men like Dickson’s killer out there, then there would be no police. The moment being a cop was actually as dangerous as being a convenience store clerk, these worthless cowards would walk off the job so fast it would make your head spin. The war on drugs would end in a day. Millions of peaceful people would be released from the rape cages of the prison industrial complex. There would be no war. Tens of millions of children would no longer be force fed psychotropic drugs. Markets could begin repairing the thousands of years of damage that governments have inflicted upon human society.

Dickson was no hero, and his killer no villain. It’s really quite the contrary. It’s easy to feel sorry for his wife and children. It’s easy to turn on your TV and cheer for police to catch the “bad guy”. I’m going to ask you to do something more difficult.

Think.

You live in a world where violence is rewarded with money and power and respect by State sanction. Every once in awhile, somebody decides to punish and prevent that violence by using force against a cop. Rather than thank him for his bravery, society labels him the worst sort of criminal, and hunts him down like an animal.

I see this as profoundly sick. That as a species we heap praise upon people who kidnap and murder and steal in the name of “law”, but demonize those who risk their lives to do something meaningful to punish and prevent that violence. I will not engage in this behavior, and neither should you.

Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson was a violent criminal. His uniform does not excuse his crimes. His death marks the end of a 7 year crime wave, and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Here you go...

Patrick Nelson • a day ago

We the people grant police and the government the power to coerce. If you want to go back to the articles of confederation instead of the constitution, there is an amendment process. But, consider why we no longer use the articles of the confederation. Murder is murder. If you want anarchy go to Africa. You can't go around just killing people because you feel their cause is unjust. If you want to do some real good, why don't you go kill all the black people in America? They are responsible for the most homicides in America, and they are a minority, shouldn't be too rough right? That's about how you are generalizing all of the police force.

Steve Patrick Nelson • a day ago

The idea of the modern police force stemmed from the old "Company Towns" in the U.S. where a company, in most cases a coal company, owned all of the property, stores, and supplies in a town which housed their workers. These workers were indentured slaves, where their wages went to paying off their tools, room & board, food, etc. Sound familiar?

Nowhere in the Constitution does it mention anything about a police force. You are making random inferences about something you think you know about without any research or real knowledge on the subject, "bro." You also don't get to speak on behalf of "We The People" as that also includes those in this comment section that disagree with you.

Matthew Reece Patrick Nelson • 21 hours ago

"We the people" does not exist. Each individual person exists. This individual person never signed any social contract or document that establishes a state, and never would do so.

You must not have read the article, or you would understand that the killed person was an aggressor, and violence against an aggressor does not violate NAP.

Jack O'Brien Patrick Nelson • 21 hours ago

State troopers and incorporated police departments are not Constitutionally sanctioned.

So what was that you were saying about the amendment process?

Patrick Nelson THIN BLUE CASKET • a day ago

Go to Africa if you want freedom bro, or change our system here legally. It's pretty simple. Or keep being a little bitch and throw ad hominem into your argument when you can't come up with something logical.

Brandon Youngs Patrick Nelson • a day ago

You do realize, in order for me to leave, I have to pay this gang a large fee. On top of that fee, I have to go to another gang and get permission to enter their gangland. Also, the first gang is going to require I forfeit a large percentage of my property, just to leave, and again that assumes that the gang I am living under approves of my leaving in the first place.

Patrick Nelson Brandon Youngs • 20 hours ago

What large fee are you talking about? The fee for a pass port? If you leave, your property is still your property. You're an idiot. Where do you people come up with this shit? The whole world is gangland, except Africa. They are free over there bro, go have fun, unless you want to change things here, young keyboard warrior.

Matheus Grunt Patrick Nelson • 6 hours ago

Wrong. Police have zero constitutional right to even exist. Sheriff's that are elected, their offices, are the only constitutional law enforcement in the states you peon. The colonists & some of the founders also routinely engage in attacks against law enforcement back in the day (the British troops) and other govt officials. They even attacked them at homes sometimes. This is not evil, but a necessary work against what is wrong & impure & violating of the rule of law & our natural rights. It's happening slowly all over again. The American people, many of us, are fed up. This kind of action this man took in taking on these 2 troopers is going to keep up as the war these pigs partake in against us & the Constitution keeps up.

Patrick Nelson Matheus Grunt • 3 hours ago

It's implied consent. Just as much as congress has the right to levy taxes, the judicial branch has the right to enforce legislation. Murder because you think someone is unjust isn't constitutional. Sorry, your logic is deeply flawed. As well as how you are viewing civil rights as compared to civil liberties. I agree the people are fed up, and there is an avenue to direct our grievances to. Murder isn't going to help anything, besides hire a new cop, and piss off the rest of the station.

If you act aggressive police have the right to execute you.

And we have a winner. People, the police will be looking for a white person, a particular car color, and a male, but the police will shoot you anyway.

Pennsylvania authorities have identified a 31-year-old man they described as a survivalist with a strong desire to kill police officers as the man who allegedly shot and killed a state trooper in an ambush outside a police barracks Friday night.

Eric Matthew Frein, a Pennsylvania resident, allegedly used a .308-caliber rifle to gun down Cpl. Bryon Dixon and seriously wound a second officer -- Trooper Alex T. Douglass -- around 10:50 p.m. Friday, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan told reporters Tuesday afternoon.

Eric Matthew Frein, 31, has been identified as the man police believe shot and killed one Pennsylvania state trooper and seriously injured another in an ambush outside of a barracks on Friday. (Pennsylvania State Police)

Noonan has described the attack as an ambush and said Dixon and Douglass had little chance to defend themselves. Dixon died hours later on Saturday morning, while Douglass was hospitalized in stable but critical condition.

While the shooter's motives remain unclear, Noonan said Frein had "made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and also wanting to commit mass acts of murders.”

“He has expressed anti-government leanings in the past, especially toward law enforcement," Noonan said, adding that many of his rants appeared on social media.

Police began to suspect Frein after a resident noticed a truck submerged in a pond about two miles from the barracks in Blooming Grove in northeastern Pennsylvania where the shootings took place. Detectives searched the vehicle and found shell casings that matched a weapon used in the attack on Dixon, Noonan said.

The 31-year-old is charged with murder, attempted murder, assault and weapons offenses among other crimes, according to Noonan, who said court documents would be released later on Tuesday.

On Monday, Lt. Col. Bivens, deputy commissioner of operations, said Frein may have suffered a recent crisis in his life and had complained about the state police several times on social media.

“This spineless act may have been meant as an act of intimidation. Let me be very clear, we are not intimidated, we are coming after you," Bivens said on Monday.

Suspect ID’d in Pennsylvania trooper ambush a marksman who ‘doesn’t miss’

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/09/17/suspect-idd-in-pennsylvania-trooper-ambush-sharp-shooter-who-doesnt-miss/

The father of the suspect named in the ambush killing of a Pennsylvania state trooper told police his son is an excellent marksman who “doesn’t miss,” a police affidavit released Tuesday said.

Hundreds of law enforcement officers fanned out across the dense northeastern Pennsylvania woods Tuesday as they tracked Eric Frein, a survivalist with two high-powered rifles and a grudge against police. Frein was identified by police as the gunman who killed one trooper and injured another in a late-night ambush outside a state police barracks.

His father, Michael, a retired major in the U.S. Army with 28 years of service, told police that his son is an excellent marksman. The suspect lived about 20 miles from the ambush site and lived with his parents until a few months ago, Lehigh Valley Live reported. A sniper training magazine was reportedly found inside the parents' home.

Frein, 31, of Canadensis, is "extremely dangerous" and residents in the area should be alert and cautious, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said at a news conference in which he revealed the suspect's name.

"He has made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and also to commit mass acts of murder," Noonan said.

Frein was charged Tuesday with first-degree murder, homicide of a law enforcement officer and other offenses.

About 200 law enforcement officials were combing the rural area of northeastern Pennsylvania marked by dense forest, but "we have no idea where he is," Noonan said.

The gunman killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson, 38, and critically wounded Trooper Alex Douglass outside the barracks during a late-night shift change, then slipped away. The Times-Leader reported that surveillance cameras recorded the gunshots and the rescue to save the officers.

Authorities were led to Frein after a resident who was walking his dog in a wooded area 2 miles from the barracks Monday spotted a 2001 Jeep lightly submerged in a pond and called 911. Police found shell casings inside the vehicle that matched those found at the shooting scene, Noonan said.

Investigators also found Frein's Social Security card, a Pennsylvania Game Commission range permit, camouflage face paint, a black hooded sweatshirt, two empty rifle cases and military gear, Noonan said.

Frein has held anti-law enforcement views for many years and has expressed them both online and to people who knew him, said Lt. Col. George Bivens.

"This was not unexpected," Bivens said. "As we've interviewed a number of people, that's been the common theme. This was not a surprise."

Three state police patrol cars were parked at Frein's parents' home, a well-kept two-story residence in a private community. Several other cars were in the driveway Tuesday afternoon.

Thousands mourn slain trooper

SCRANTON, Pa. — Thousands of state troopers and police from around the country turned out in northeastern Pennsylvania Thursday to mourn a slain fellow trooper even as other officers intensified the search for his elusive killer.

Eric Matthew Frein, described by authorities as an anti-government survivalist, faces first-degree murder and other charges.

More than 1,000 fellow officers — including state troopers and police from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and Minnesota — stood in formation.shoulder to shoulder, in front of the church.

The flag-draped coffin of the 38-year-old former Marine was carried through the streets in a silver hearse in a procession led by hundreds of officers on motorcycles, their red and blue lights flashing.

From the altar, Father Thomas Muldowney, Pennsylvania State Police chaplain, told the congregation, "We gather here in sorrow, disbelief and anger. But most importantly we gather here in faith."

He then raised the "singular question" that he said was on everyone's mind: "Why did this heinous act of violence take place?" He asked why there are evil people in the world "who do not respect human life."

While Muldowney said Dickson's death might beg the question as to whether God exists, he called on them to take note that "Bryon's life was truly a gift from God himself."

"Although our hearts today are heavy with grief, may we celebrate a life well-lived and find peace as we remember the many happy and special times that we shared with our fellow brother," he said. "May we believe that he is in a place where he will continue to watch over us as we move forward."

Gov. Tom Corbett was among those in attendance. Thousands of others mourned at Dickson's solemn viewing Wednesday in the rotunda of Marywood University in Scranton.

Meghan Barbour, 32, has been on the Pennsylvania force almost 10 years. She serves in the Harrisburg barracks and, like the vast majority of officers here, didn't know Dickson.

"Every officer out there, they are my brothers and my sisters'," she said. "We are all committed to finding him. We are not afraid. We will not back down."

State Police Maj. Joseph Reed, one of hundreds of law enforcement officers here for the funeral, said he did not know Dickson personally. But he knew his work.

"He was an outstanding performer," said Reed, 56, who commands a post two hours south of here. "Every officer is touched by the tragedy. We're sad at the loss of a brother, but also determined to catch his killer."

"There have been a lot of concerns expressed about community safety and specifically the safety of our children attending schools in the area," State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said. "While we can never completely rule out an act of violence, I am convinced that Frein has engaged in a personal battle with law enforcement, specifically the Pennsylvania State Police, and will likely stay focused on that fight."

"As I did the other day, I'd like to directly address Eric Frein again. "Eric, in the event you are listening to this broadcast on a portable radio, while cowering in some cold damp hiding place — we are coming for you," said Bivens. "And it's only a matter of time until we bring you to justice for this cowardly attack."

Dickson "was no ordinary trooper," police Commissioner Frank Noonan said.

The word that best describes Dickson is "impeccable," Cpl. Derek Felsman said during his eulogy. Felsman said his best friend took perfect care of his wife, crafted flawless wood toys for his two sons and always wore a crisp and spotless uniform with gleaming leather boots and belt.

Dickson regularly worked past quitting time to take drunken drivers off the street, Felsman said.

"He held himself to the highest standards as evidenced in every aspect of his life," he said.

When law enforcement officers are violently targeted, we take it seriously—and personally,” said SAC Hanko.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Eric Matthew Frein.

$100,000. Wonder how that compares to someone else.

Uh, I don't think the shooter is responsible for that -- it's the LEOs who are being total control freaks and not wanting to let a "crisis" go to waste, and they're on a vendetta to get somebody who killed someone in their gang.

Plus it's lots of sweet overtime $$$ for them, along with a chance to condition the public to accept whatever they dish out. Maybe it's stuff like this that motivated the shooter in the first place. People are too stupid to see that it's the police state disrupting their lives, not the shooter.

What uniform & patch (http://www.fbi.gov/philadelphia/press-releases/2014/alleged-shooter-of-two-pennsylvania-state-troopers-added-to-fbis-ten-most-wanted-fugitives-list) is the shooter wearing in this picture ? Doesn't look American to me. :cool:

The suspect in last week's fatal ambush outside a rural Pennsylvania State Police barracks belonged to a 'military simulation unit' whose members play the role of soldiers from Cold War eastern Europe.
Eric Frein, 31, 'appears to have assumed that role in real life' as he seeks to avoid capture, Lt. Col. George Bivens said.

"Eric, in the event you are listening to this broadcast on a portable radio, while cowering in some cold damp hiding place — we are coming for you," said Bivens. "And it's only a matter of time until we bring you to justice for this cowardly attack."

Just like the Dorner situation.

The fact is, until the cops burn this man down, (and they will, cyber nickel says he's killed long before an arrest) he can, if he wants to, reach out and touch any one of them as they go about their daily business.

He has the element of surprise, unless cops are willing to retreat to their bunkers and just kill anybody who gets within 100 yards.

Authorities wearing bulletproof vests and carrying heavy rifles fanned out Saturday in the neighborhood around the home of a man suspected in the fatal shooting of a Pennsylvania State Police trooper, exercising extreme caution as they combed a heavily wooded area for a suspect described as a self-taught survivalist.

Although Eric Frein isn't in custody, "our troopers are determined to find him and bring him to justice," said state police spokeswoman Maria Finn.

"Due to the violent nature of his crimes, extreme precautionary measures are being taken," Finn said.

Police did not release details of their search, including how big of an area they are checking, whether they have Frein surrounded or how much longer it will be before residents can move about freely.

Authorities closed roads in the wooded neighborhood of Barrett Township, in the Pocono Mountains about 100 miles north of Philadelphia, and issued a shelter-in-place warning to residents as they sought a man they said had a grudge against law enforcement and government.

Gunfire was reported around Friday night but authorities have not discussed that report, including if there were any injuries.

State police told residents in the townships of Price and Barrett to stay inside and asked others not to travel to the area because of heavy police activity. Some who had been kept away were allowed to return to their homes Saturday morning.

With dozens of homes on lockdown, Andrew Killinger and Kerriann Sanders had to make alternate wedding plans.

The wedding was supposed to be at their home, but Killinger left Friday evening to pick up the food and, when he returned, police would not let him back in. He spent the night in his sport utility vehicle while Sanders spent a nerve-wracking night at home with their 2-year-old daughter.

The couple got the wedding rescheduled at nearby Pocono Manor on Saturday, and Sanders persuaded local authorities to send a police cruiser to pick her up and drive her and her daughter out of the neighborhood. Police told the couple nothing about what is happening.

"They're keeping it hush-hush," Killinger said.

Joe Ksiaskiewicz tried to pass through a roadblock to get home late Saturday morning, but was stopped by officers.

Ksiaskiewicz said the officers told him it was a "critical time" and would not let him pass. He had hoped to get through to be with his 27-year-old daughter, Ellen, who was stuck at home while he and his wife spent the night with their older daughter because they couldn't enter their neighborhood.

"She's ready to be done," Ann Winner said of her sister. "She's been listening to helicopters all night."

Canadensis resident Richard Barry couldn't get home from work Friday night before the roadblocks went up. Barry said Saturday morning that he heard from family members who were at home and they told him police were going through their yard and the dog was barking.

Worried about his family, he said he preferred to wait near police in hopes of hearing something rather than staying overnight at the firehouse.

"I'm hoping that sooner or later he (Frein) just says 'I give up. You win,'" Barry said.

Local residents celebrate Thank a Police Officer Day despite deadly manhunt

By Cristen Manion, Multi Media Producer - email

CANADENSIS, Pa. - In the midst of a dangerous manhunt, local residents celebrated "Thank A Police Officer Day" Saturday.
The recent ambush of a Pennsylvania State Troopers barracks left police searching for Eric Frein, 31, who is accused of killing one officer and wounding another.

Citizens in local communities took time to thank policemen on the national day to show gratitude to officers who often do a thankless job.

Locally, many folks say they recognize the work police do to help keep them and the community safe.

Brianna Stefansky, from Shapsville, PA, said, "We don't know the danger they go through on a daily basis and what they put their lives on the line for, so everyone should give them a thanks, and not judge them or criticize them for the way they handle things."

In Warren, a recent drug bust highlighted the dangers police must deal with, including crimes involving shoot outs taking place involving more firepower.

Other area police departments say they also face dangerous calls on a regular basis.

Joe Lofaro from Brookfield said, "Parents should teach their children to respect police. They buried a cop the other day from PA, it's disgusting. Why shoot someone who is innocent, who has family, just because they don't like cops? It should be the opposite- police are here to protect people."

"I think cops should be respected. They should be thanked for what they do. They do have a very risky job," said Lofaro.

Meanwhile, communities in Pennsylvania remain on edge as they move back in to their homes.

Police closed off a community for two nights in a row in order to search for Frein, who was allegedly living with his parents.

Cantwell is an idiot, he is as bad as any statist. How can he assume the killer was no villain? This enemy of my enemy is my friend stuff is retarded. Cop killers make the public sympathize more with the cops. Just as suicide bombers make their victims countrymen more patriotic.

Law firm targets Pennsylvania State Police for handling of Eric Frein manhunt

Nick Falsone | The Express-Times By Nick Falsone | The Express-Times

A law firm is soliciting residents in Pike and Monroe counties who have been affected by police activity related to the manhunt for Eric Frein, the suspect in the Sept. 12 Pennsylvania State Police ambush that left one trooper dead and wounded another.

Joshua Prince, of the Bechtelsville, Pa.-based Prince Law Offices, posted a message on the firm's website Monday night encouraging residents to contact the firm if they believe their rights have been violated by police during the search for Frein, who is sought in the shooting outside the state police Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County.

"If you are a resident of Pike or Monroe County and had your rights violated by the (Pennsylvania State Police), either by unlawfully evicting you from your home or searching your vehicle without a warrant, please contact us to discuss your legal options," the message says.

Prince, in his message, cites media reports of police checking vehicles without warrants or probable cause and not allowing residents to return to their homes during periods of the search.

"During our search operations in the area, we have been diligent in respecting the rights of the public while working hard to keep both residents and law enforcement safe," Trooper Adam Reed said.

Noonan confirmed that one trooper was killed and the other was injured and taken to Geisinger Medical Center in Scranton, where he was in stable condition after undergoing surgery.

He provided few details on the shooting but said the attack seemed to be directed at state police.
"This has been an emotional night for all of us," Noonan told reporters.

Pennsylvania's attorney general on Thursday identified top state officials who received pornographic emails on government computers, reversing course after a long-running fight with reporters who sought the release of the information.

All of the officials named by Attorney General Kathleen Kane served under Governor Tom Corbett when he was attorney general and his successor, Linda Kelly.

The list includes two current officials in the Republican governor's administration: Frank Noonan, the commander of the Pennsylvania State Police, and E. Christopher Abruzzo, the state's top environmental official.

A few years back here in TX (in Mansfield I think) some young guy rigged up his SUV to explode and fired off over 100 rounds at the police station there. No Heroes were harmed, and I think they either took him out or he did it himself.

It was kind of a weird news story at the time because it seemed like they were going out of their way to keep it hush hush. I've always wondered if maybe the guy had some serious grievances with the local PD that they just didn't want to get out there (thus possibly encouraging others to do the same).

As MailOnline exclusively reported on Thursday, Frein may have believed Douglass, 31, was having an affair with the fugitive's sister-in-law Melissa Frein.

Melissa Frein lives less than half a mile away from Douglass in Olyphant, Pennsylvania and police admit the two knew each other. They say they aggressively interviewed Melissa about rumors of an affair but say they now do not believe the two were involved.

I don't think that transgression deserves a death sentence but it would explain why the police aren't concerned about the general public being harmed.

Manhunt for Frein escalates around Snow Hill Falls neighborhood near state forest

http://media.philly.com/images/20140928_inq_strooper28-b.JPG

Laura MCCrystal, Inquirer Staff Writer

Posted: Sunday, September 28, 2014, 11:19 AM

PRICE TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- The manhunt for Eric Frein appears to have narrowed to a wooded area bordering a state forest, where residents have once again been advised to stay home as troopers patrol on foot and helicopters circle overhead.

Police presence that intensified Saturday afternoon escalated Sunday morning in a rural neighborhood here, where residents live on lots of several acres off dirt roads. Frein, charged with killing a state trooper and wounding another, continues to evade capture after more than two weeks in the Poconos woods.

The focused search includes the back yard of 61-year-old Pat Snively, who said helicopters hovered so low to the ground near her home that trees swayed wildly in the wind and she could see the faces of the pilots.

"It looked like Black Hawk Down, those helicopters," she said.

Snively and her neighbors also lost power for several hours Saturday evening. PPL Electric reported that 78 customers lost power in the area; state police could not confirm that the outage was caused by wind from the helicopters.

The search appeared to be centered in the woods just behind Snively's home. Her grandchildren were playing in her back yard yesterday afternoon when an armed trooper in camouflage signaled to her son.

The trooper advised them to take the children inside -- and stay there. A man who believed to be Eric Frein had been spotted in the woods behind their home, the trooper told them, but he had run away.

Trooper Adam Reed said he "can't provide information on the possibility of recent sightings," but confirmed that the police were focusing their search on the Snow Hill Falls neighborhood, where Snively lives.

As the search enters a third week, many residents have attempted to resume their normal routines. But the nearly 1,000 law enforcement officers who have descended on the woods in Monroe and Pike counties have shown no sign of stopping the search. By Sunday morning, Snively said more state troopers were arriving in white vans, and police cruisers lined the road.

"I don't mind, as long as they catch him," she said.

As the search enters a third week, many residents have attempted to resume their normal routines. But the nearly 1,000 law enforcement officers who have descended on the woods in Monroe and Pike counties have shown no sign of stopping the search. By Sunday morning, Snively said more state troopers were arriving in white vans, and police cruisers lined the road.

Police Say Alleged Cop-Killer Eric Frein Planted Pipe Bombs

Authorities Confirm Eric Frein Left Behind Pipe Bombs
NBC News

Police hunting for accused cop-killer Eric Frein found two "fully functional" pipe bombs in the Pennsylvania woods. State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said the explosives could have been detonated by a tripwire or lighted fuse, which he said was consistent with Frein's "gutless efforts to kill and injure law enforcement from a distance." At a Tuesday news conference, Bivens said search teams have also found other supplies that Frein "hastily" left behind but declined to describe them.

"I am calling on you, Eric, to surrender," Bivens said, directly addressing the fugitive, who is on the FBI's most-wanted list with $175,000 in reward money offered for his capture. "You are clearly stressed. You are making significant mistakes." At the same time, he acknowledged the difficult terrain has prevented police from getting close enough to Frein to capture him after he's been sighted.

Pennsylvania trooper shot dead during gun training

CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (AP) -- A state trooper was accidentally shot during a gun training exercise at a safety facility on Tuesday and later died.

Trooper David Kedra was shot in the chest during a yearly training exercise at the Montgomery County Public Safety Training Complex in Conshohocken, near Philadelphia, state police said. He's the second trooper to be shot dead this month following Cpl. Bryon Dickson's death in an ambush on Sept. 12.

Kedra, 26, was flown by helicopter to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He had been a member of the Pennsylvania State Police since June 2012.

The shooting remains under investigation, and state police didn't disclose many details about it.

Frein has dodged police numerous times during his five weeks on the lam. They've spotted him several times in a 5-square-mile area of Northeast Pennsylvania. He was always too far away, and police could not get to him through the difficult terrain, they said.

Last month, officers discovered Frein's campsite and a journal he used to detail the killing, but the suspect was nowhere to be found.

The manhunt costs police about $1.1 million a week.

Let's imagine this guy had shot a school teacher. Or a bus driver. Or a doctor. Or a waitress. Or an office manager. Or....

Thousands mourn slain trooper

SCRANTON, Pa. — Thousands of state troopers and police from around the country turned out in northeastern Pennsylvania Thursday to mourn a slain fellow trooper even as other officers intensified the search for his elusive killer.

Eric Matthew Frein, described by authorities as an anti-government survivalist, faces first-degree murder and other charges.

More than 1,000 fellow officers — including state troopers and police from New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and Minnesota — stood in formation.shoulder to shoulder, in front of the church.

The flag-draped coffin of the 38-year-old former Marine was carried through the streets in a silver hearse in a procession led by hundreds of officers on motorcycles, their red and blue lights flashing.

From the altar, Father Thomas Muldowney, Pennsylvania State Police chaplain, told the congregation, "We gather here in sorrow, disbelief and anger. But most importantly we gather here in faith."

He then raised the "singular question" that he said was on everyone's mind: "Why did this heinous act of violence take place?" He asked why there are evil people in the world "who do not respect human life."

While Muldowney said Dickson's death might beg the question as to whether God exists, he called on them to take note that "Bryon's life was truly a gift from God himself."

"Although our hearts today are heavy with grief, may we celebrate a life well-lived and find peace as we remember the many happy and special times that we shared with our fellow brother," he said. "May we believe that he is in a place where he will continue to watch over us as we move forward."

Gov. Tom Corbett was among those in attendance. Thousands of others mourned at Dickson's solemn viewing Wednesday in the rotunda of Marywood University in Scranton.

Meghan Barbour, 32, has been on the Pennsylvania force almost 10 years. She serves in the Harrisburg barracks and, like the vast majority of officers here, didn't know Dickson.

"Every officer out there, they are my brothers and my sisters'," she said. "We are all committed to finding him. We are not afraid. We will not back down."

State Police Maj. Joseph Reed, one of hundreds of law enforcement officers here for the funeral, said he did not know Dickson personally. But he knew his work.

"He was an outstanding performer," said Reed, 56, who commands a post two hours south of here. "Every officer is touched by the tragedy. We're sad at the loss of a brother, but also determined to catch his killer."

"There have been a lot of concerns expressed about community safety and specifically the safety of our children attending schools in the area," State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens said. "While we can never completely rule out an act of violence, I am convinced that Frein has engaged in a personal battle with law enforcement, specifically the Pennsylvania State Police, and will likely stay focused on that fight."

"As I did the other day, I'd like to directly address Eric Frein again. "Eric, in the event you are listening to this broadcast on a portable radio, while cowering in some cold damp hiding place — we are coming for you," said Bivens. "And it's only a matter of time until we bring you to justice for this cowardly attack."

A bill headed to Gov. Tom Corbett's desk would give police officers from other states the power to arrest alleged cop killer Eric Frien if they track him down within Pennsylvania borders.

According to a report on pennlive.com, the state Senate on Thursday unanimously passed a bill that would extend the arrest powers to out-of-state officers when the governor has declared an emergency and it would remain in effect until the disaster emergency declaration is terminated.

The House already passed the bill so it now awaits Corbett's signature.

A Corbett spokesman told pennlive.com an emergency was declared in the manhunt for Frein, who is charged in fatal shooting of state police Cpl. Bryon Dickson and wounding of Trooper Alex Douglass outside the Blooming Grove Township state police barracks in Pike County on Sept. 12.

Officers from New Jersey and New York have been assisting in the search for Frein, but do not legally have the authority to arrest him; the bill on Corbett's desk would change that.

A public information officer for the Pennsylvania State Police says the bill is a "common sense solution," according to the pennlive.com report.

The Corbett spokesman told the website the governor is reviewing the bill and has 10 days to sign it.

The search for Frein focusing on the Pike-Monroe county border is entering its 35th day on Friday.

Police report possible new sighting of ambush suspect Eric Frein

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/10/21/police-report-possible-new-sighting-ambush-suspect-eric-frein/?intcmp=latestnews

Pennsylvania State Police did not recommend that schools close, district spokeswoman Wendy Frable said.

"We would not bring the students in if we did not have reassurance from police they felt the campus was safe," she said Monday morning.

Hours later, as police ramped up their search efforts in the area in response to the latest possible sighting, district officials moved outdoor after-school athletic practices to another campus. And late Monday, the district posted on its website a statement saying students will remain inside on Tuesday.

State police have said they believe Frein, a self-taught survivalist, has a hatred of law enforcement and wants to target police, not the general public.

State police said Monday that blood found at two homes in the search area is not linked to Frein. DNA testing ruled out any link to Frein in blood droplets found on a covered porch in the area. Material found on a back door at a second home near the first turned out not to be human blood.

Police believe Frein could be breaking into vacant cabins or vacation homes to look for food or take shelter.

Pericles

10-21-2014, 09:18 AM

It gets better:

Word is Frein's wife was having an affair with a state trooper, who was the target, and Frein got the wrong one. This is why the state police know the public is in no danger, and there is no interest in taking Frein alive. His story would get embarrassing for at least one state trooper.

I don't steal from them, I don't kidnap them, I don't imprison them, I don't rape or torture them, I don't beat them and I don't kill them indiscriminately. Yet, that happens everyday to people that are not unlike me. These individuals that allow it just don't have my resolve. Gawd save the pig that does any of these things to someone I care about.

I am questioning the incredibly massive police response to him, and am curious about his motivation.

I believe it is possible that he had a very good reason for what he did. (and even if it was not a good reason, there was/is a reason)

Beyond that,, Police should not exist in a free society. period. the existence of Authoritarian Control Enforcers is only proof that we do NOT live in a free society.

"Wrong" is such a subjective term though.

NorthCarolinaLiberty

10-21-2014, 03:21 PM

So, if the extra-marital stuff is true and Frein did it, then this would be more accurately described as somebody who killed a person who was philandering. "Cop killer" sounds emotional, irrelevant, and even inaccurate. If someone shoots the mailman, then they are not described as a "mailman" killer.

I did not see any evidence of Frein being anti-government, hating government, or hating law enforcement. Could be true, but does not seem to be any evidence.

So, it seems to boil down to spending millions of dollars on finding the killer of a philanderer. I'd bet people involved in extra marital affairs get pummeled weekly and a few are even killed. Don't see anything special in the context of the captain's claim that the shooter's action is an attack on everybody. Seems more like a family matter where a specific person might have been targeted for a specific reason. So far, the occupation appears totally irrelevant.

two things are clear (despite speculation elsewhere)

This ain't Eye-Rack! This is 'MURRICA!!

The focused search includes the back yard of 61-year-old Pat Snively, who said helicopters hovered so low to the ground near her home that trees swayed wildly in the wind and she could see the faces of the pilots.

"It looked like Black Hawk Down, those helicopters," she said.

Here's my theory:

1) Frein secures fake ID
2) Frein submerges Jeep and painfully obvious clues such as his SS card in mud
3) Frein lights up 2 cops
4) "Smith" drives across the border to Canada.
5) "Smith" laughs his ass off about being "Surrounded" in the woods for over a month

I was speculating too. According to lice, Frein turned off his lights with helicopters overhead. He then drives into the pond because he can't see. I don't think it would be easy to get all of his "survivalist" gear and rifle while he is sinking. The lice said they found his empty cigarette packs. Seems to me those were likely to get wet. It's obvious the lice have told lot A LOT of lies, so hard to tell what really happened.

Donations Pour in to Buy Eric Frein Lookalike a Car

http://abcnews.go.com/US/donations-pour-buy-eric-frein-lookalike-car/story?id=26424839

Thousands of dollars have been raised for a Pennsylvania man who said he's continually accosted by cops as he walks to work through the woods where police are searching for suspected cop killer Eric Frein.

Supporters who heard about James Tully's plight raised nearly $14,000 online to buy him a car. Tully said he walks five miles from his home in Canadensis to his job at a metal manufacturing factory, and his path crosses right through the manhunt area in the Pocono Mountains. He told ABC affiliate WNEP that he's been stopped by police at least 20 times, and was once even ambushed at gunpoint by authorities who thought he was the suspect.

Since neighbor Dawn DeBiase launched the GoFundMe campaign this week, hundreds of sympathetic people have donated.

"If everyone was willing to walk 10 miles to make a dollar, the world would be a different place," one supporter wrote.

"I am retired now but I can remember times when I had no car to get to work and I found people willing to help me," said another donor. "Just like all these great people helping you. Good luck to you."

DeBiase posted a message from Tully's mother on the fundraising page Thursday night.

"I don't know if James is aware of the present total as he is at work right now," she wrote, according to DeBiase's update. "But I am blown away. I don't have the words to thank each of you for your kindness to my son. To say thank you seems so inadequate, but I don't know what else I could say. Many thanks to everyone who donated and posted encouraging messages. Thank you especially, Dawn for organizing this."

Pennsylvania State Police declined to make an official comment, but said that if Tully feels he was mistreated, he should file a complaint.

In Pennsylvania woods, Eric Frein eludes a massive manhunt

By Timothy M. Phelps

snip

The search has left some residents and hunters shaking their heads, frustrated by the sudden invasion of swarms of police camped out at a former school just down the road. One local said he had been stopped seven times by police while walking to work. Business at most stores is down because hunters have been temporarily banned from the woods.

In one recent incident in the town of Swiftwater — the current focal point of the search — police demolished the front of a barn after apparently seeing body heat on their thermal imaging equipment. It turned out to be a family of raccoons, residents say.

the guy could have left a dummy truck with planted materials there on purpose, then have another transport waiting elsewhere.

One thing that will be hard for business owners to anticipate is the "when" -- when will business pick up? Police are still in the area searching for Eric Frein and customers continue to stay away. “There are still customers calling me and asking me if it’s okay to come here," said Justine Knipe, owner of Mountainhome Candle.

A follow-up on the original "person of interest, Mr. Huldak....

Man wrongly suspected in Frein case sues state troopers

A Clarks Summit man wrongly suspected of killing a state police trooper and wounding another in the Blooming Grove barracks ambush was forced from his mother’s home at gunpoint and questioned for hours before being released, according to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday.

Jeffrey Hudak says he was traumatized by overzealous troopers, who arrested him based on pure speculation because his estranged wife reportedly had a relationship with Trooper Alex T. Douglass of Olyphant, who was wounded in the Sept. 12, 2014, sniper attack that killed Trooper Bryon K. Dickson II of Dunmore.

“While the Pennsylvania State Police were understandably emotional and angry ... they unfortunately ignored, trampled and violated the plaintiff’s rights during their zealous and emotionally driven pursuit of the actual person responsible,” Mr. Hudak’s attorney, George Reihner of Scranton, says in the lawsuit.

Police also damaged Mr. Hudak’s reputation by releasing his name and photograph to the public and by tipping off members of the news media, the suit says. News stories about his arrest are still available online.

Mr. Hudak was taken into custody about 12 hours after the man authorities now say was the real culprit — Eric Matthew Frein — opened fire on Cpl. Dickson and Trooper Douglass from a wooded area across from the state police barracks in Blooming Grove.

Mr. Frein, who is charged with first-degree murder and multiple other offenses and pleaded not guilty, remained on the lam for 48 days before he was captured near an abandoned airport hanger in Monroe County. He is jailed at the Pike County Correctional Facility awaiting trial in Pike County Court.

In the hours after the shooting, authorities focused on Mr. Hudak. In an “incredible and threatening display” of force, a barrage of police officers surrounded his mother’s Scranton home and demanded he come out with his hands up. He was handcuffed immediately and thrown into the back of a police cruiser without being told why he was being arrested, the suit says.

He was taken to the state police barracks in Dunmore, where Corporal Benjamin Clark and Trooper Kyle Hnat intensely questioned him for hours, refusing his request to see an attorney and initially preventing him from using the bathroom or making a phone call, the suit says.

The suit names Corporal Clark and Trooper Hnat as defendants, as well as four other troopers whose identities are not yet known. It does not name the state police as a defendant.

Contacted Thursday, Trooper Adam Reed , spokesman for state police in Harrisburg, said the department does not comment on pending litigation.

The suit alleges police did not have probable cause to arrest Mr. Hudak as their suspicions were based on the belief he committed the acts because his wife, from whom he was separated for about 18 months at the time, was allegedly in a relationship with Trooper Douglass.

“This ... accusation, gross innuendo and/or rank speculation — bereft of any supporting fact, evidence and/or detail whatsoever — does not and cannot form the basis for probable cause,” the suit says.

Mr. Hudak was interrogated for about six to eight hours as authorities worked to verify his whereabouts at the time of the shooting, Mr. Reihner said in a phone interview Thursday.

“It was very intense. They were accusing him of murder and attempted murder. He said his heart was beating out of his chest,” Mr. Reihner said. “Everything he told them turned out to be 100 percent accurate, but they kept him in custody even after that.”

Even after he was released, police continued to follow him for about three days, Mr. Reihner said.
