Pennsylvania State Police, ending a seven-week manhunt, have captured a man accused of ambushing two troopers, leaving one dead and seriously injuring the other.
Eric Frein, 31, was taken into custody Thursday, state police said. NBC reports that Frein was found in a hanger at Pocono Mountain Airport, where they received a report he was hiding.
Despite being armed with a gun, sources told CNN that he was arrested by U.S. marshals without incident. Marshals surrounded the hangar, called out Frein's name and he surrendered.
However, pictures of Frein in the back of a police cruiser show him nursing a wound to his nose. It's unclear how he sustained the injury.
He will now reportedly be taken back to Blooming Grove police barracks, where he allegedly shot a state trooper dead on September 12, to be booked in jail to await his first court appearance.

They just got him? Or was it a few days ago? Anyway, good that they got him. Atrocious crimes.
Is “hanger” how they spell “hangar” in the U.K.?
He found the only doorknob there?
Excellent.
Wonder if he’ll make the cover of Time Magazine?
or a butt of somebodys gun? Good for them, I’m glad they got him, now send him to prison the rest of his life..
Too bad Penn doesn’t have the death penalty. Anyone that can ambush another human being that coldly is a danger to society.
Imagine if a small team of ex-SF guys, who really know how to E&E, decided they were going to kill some politicians, cops, or even bureaucrats. Why, it might tie up every LEO in the country for MONTHS on end. Wouldn’t that be interesting?
They mean "hangar." Don't they fire reporters or editors for this kind of thing anymore?
Yeah, looks like "the little coward" attacked their fists and boots with his face.
Wonder when the police will release the video of the arrest? **snicker**
Guess they showed the little coward.
Vasili Blokhin would be proud - except he'd disapprove of the fact that Frein's still alive... LOL! :)
Yeah, the Founding Fathers were just downright menaces, weren't they? I mean, they were worse than Eric Frein, because they set multiple ambushes for the enforcers of the legitimate government? They should have been put on Death Row, huh?
I swear, I sometimes read the most statist comments on FR. When will Americans wake up to the fact that cops like the ones that were killed were EXACTLY the standing armies the Founders opposed?
When the next American revolution starts, there will be commenters on FR that denounce every single act of violence, justified or not.
Because in the end he was wimp.
You’re likening a cold blooded murder to warfare? Frein was fighting state troopers for his freedom when he ambushed them ?! Are you an idiot?
I'm actually surprised that he is.
Yeah - when do we deal with the SWAT team that shot Jose Guerena? LOL! :)
Penn does have the death penalty my friend.
Answer the Guerena question, THEN you can start calling people “idiots”.
