Interesting.
Put me on you ping list.
Tamara Holder was on Hannity's radio show a couple of days ago, essentially arguing that Rice made a mistake and he shouldn't have been fired.
I guess it goes without saying that domestic violence isn't such a terrible thing depending on who commits it. Clocking a woman into unconsciousness can now be view as a "mistake."
You been put. Welcome :)
More likely Amish as there are quite a few of them living in PA.
"Pike County has the largest percentage of same-sex couples in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania."
Local drugs gangs in Pittsburgh threatened to start shooting cops after the PD started foot patrols in drug infested areas.
Maybe these Troopers were hitting business.
Pike County is about as far away from Pittsburgh as you can get, and still be in Pennsylvania.
I’m waiting for MSNBC to break in reporting that militia tea partiers are on a rampage. Kinda like they’ve done for everything else. It was tea partiers who bombed Pearl Harbor—didn’t you know?
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. He 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.

How awful!
I know this area very well, and the barracks are indeed located in a rural, densely wooded area. The road on which it sits is one of my favorite little drives; it’s so peaceful.
RIP to the trooper. Hope they catch the shooter soon. I have family up there.

“I wonder if there is a Muzzie involved?”
There is a well-known Muzzie/Jihadist training camp near Handcock, NY, located about 50 miles north of the shooting site:
I’m not saying the Muzzies had anything to do with this. I am saying there are more Muzzies within 50 miles than there are Amish.
Well there you go, I guess we need to take those away too.

They were ambushed and the shooter-shooters are at large.Not much on the news.Maybe your family can find out more from the local news station.((((Hugs))))
My family are all OK, but they are worried. They actually live in the next county over (Wayne), but it really is RIGHT next door. The county line is like 5 minutes away.
So far, no new news. Lots of helicopters are circling. My cousins and aunts are not used to this sort of thing.

A family member says they have no description of the shooter. I didn’t find that reassuring but they must have some kind of leads.
