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.

So, we're to believe he's just "very dangerous" to the Governer. Boy, some politicians are so damn stupid.

And the killer could still be on the loose.

What do you mean "could"? Either he is or isn't.

It is a Jihad Technique of ISIS in Iraq to sniper attack Iraqi police/security coming and going from their stations prior to the main attack. This was a big reason many Iraqi Police/security initially fled leaving towns basically undefended. The Jihadis posted lots of videos showing this tactic.

When you read the comments now, about stories like this, it’s interesting how much good will the police have lost over the last few years. Just saying...

Did any of the targeted Pennsylvannia State Troopers have anything to do with the beating of Robert Leone?

Whoever shot and killed the trooper and wounded the other one should be tried, and if found guilty, executed. That having been said, let me mention this:

A 50K reward has been offered for arrest of the perpetrator. In that story, this was written:

Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan said the "cowardly attack" was directed at state police and a "very dangerous, armed criminal" eluded quick capture.

"Our troopers were ... shot without warning and really had no chance to defend themselves," Noonan told reporters Saturday afternoon. "It has touched us to the core that such a thing could happen."

Shot without warning, huh? Didn't have a chance to defend themselves? Really? Stop and think long and hard about those two statements. Neither one should have ever been made publicly. Law enforcement ROUTINELY shoots without warning when faced with a formidable opponent (via sniper ) and certainly doesn't give the opposition a chance to shoot back unless it cannot be helped or they missed the first time. When trying to kill someone, it is not healthy to warn them (at all in any form or fashion, either verbally or non-verbally) nor give them chance to defend themselves. I guess the powers that be want the public to believe all of the tripe in movies. We have become a nation of stupid people.

If someone intends to kill troopers, you certainly don't warn them and then you shoot to kill before they can defend themselves. Frank, shut up. If you keep talking, people are going to have sympathy for this obviously military/police-trained perpetrator.

...”He leaves behind a wife and two sons: a kindergartener and a second-grader”.....

That's sooo sad....unfortunately many of the criminals today walk away from their responsibilities as fathers and care less if their actions rob someone else’s children of a father.

In fact our society really doesn't protect children any more to speak of. As a result they are seen as dispensable without a blink! May God bring these two youngsters a good man who will love and nurture them as the mothers grief fades in the years ahead.
