later. Wouldn’t be surprised if somebody
high up in this admin is responsible.”

You mean like they did in the Dorner hunt? Shooting at three innocent people? Mistakes happen that way. If he forces them to kill him, so be it. But cops do not belong seeking vengence. A badge is not a license for vigilanti justice.

According to State Police Commissioner Noonan:

- No suspect or suspects in custody
- Attack apparently directed at LEO, not the general public
- Perp(s) have most likely fled the immediate area

Not to worry, some official will be along soon (if not already done so) and state in no uncertain terms that they are sure there is no terrorists/Muzzies involved in anyway.

Yes, we joke about Baghdad Bob. But the Beltway, Big Apple, and Burbank Bobs are no joke.

“PA Crime Stoppers is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case.”

“Our crews have watched more than 100 police vehicles race up Route 402 towards the Blooming Grove barracks just off Interstate 84.”

“a massive manhunt is under way, with police from Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey involved in the search.”

“Newswatch 16 was also there as numerous medical helicopters were seen taking off in the area.
SWAT team vehicles also arrived in the Blooming Grove area just before 1 a.m. Saturday.”

So this is what it’s like when law enforcement actually
take their job seriously. This is definitely not revenue
related. This would be on par with your typical NY/Detroit/Chicago/LA drive by. Whats the deal? Why so many resources?

“I’m in Pike County and this police barracks is about 15 miles from my house.”

Passed by the Barracks many times on my way to visiting friends in the Hawley area.

State police said they do not have anyone in custody for what police are calling an ambush shooting.
Officials also said the troopers were not shot at a close range.
...
State police said more than 100 law enforcement officials from New York, New Jersey and here in Pennsylvania have searched the Blooming Grove area for a suspect or suspects and, so far, nothing.
“We are convinced that this individual is no longer in that immediate area,” said Lt. Colonel George Bivens.
Officials believe this was a targeted attack but urge people in Pike County to be alert.

Wasn’t a Kentucky cop ambushed late at night near an exit ramp? Did they ever solve that one? It was about a year ago, I think..
