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.
SERIOUSLY??? ROFL!!!!!
The left will claim, instead of the fart joke it clearly is, that this guy is a Ted Cruz supporter.
Go ahead and bet against me.
There was an article on this fellow yesterday. He was recently discharged from the force due to domestic issue or something similar. The investigators ruled him out as per the article.
Who is this guy?
