GUILTY PA - Cpl. Bryon Dickson, 38, slain, 2nd trooper injured, Blooming Grove, 12 Sept 2014

[panthera]

Despite the show of force, the ambush remains a mystery. More than 36 hours later officers stopped drivers at a checkpoint on Route 402 and combed the woods near the barracks searching for any trace of evidence from the attack.

A report just now on Fox news said Tpr Douglass is now conscious and talking.

That is excellent news. Praying he can provide some information.

My family in Upstate NY have told me that LE have set up roadblocks in their area. Troopers think that the shooter is headed that way. The community is adjacent to the I-81 corridor.

Police continued to keep a tight lid on details about the ambush or the investigation, including the number of shots fired, where the shots originated and whether the troopers were able to return fire.

But Bivens provided the killer's profile in hopes it might help authorities catch him.

The gunman might be unstable and ranted about his dispute with law enforcement to friends or on social media, Bivens said. He probably lived in the area and made several trips to the barracks to formulate his plans. He used a .308-caliber rifle and was probably an avid hunter or had formal training, and regularly practiced at a shooting range to keep his skills sharp...

Bivens said police are already following up on a number of tips that provided "credible information" about the ambush.

 

[STANDREID]

Do we know if the surviving officer saw the shooter or was it more of a sniper type attack?
