correction POE should be POI
could be man or woman per Commissioner
Much info tight lipped as DJ states.
Suspects are not suspected to be in Pike County per reporter ... Unconfirmed ...
Prayer for Troopers, Families and Friends. Stay Safe LE!
” Hope they shoot first and ask questions
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.

from a war. The streets .... cannot go two miles without thinking a crime could be being committed. Used to could ride five miles ... if is worse in your neck of the woods ... wish I could help but have my own area to patrol.
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

So....is the guy shown in post #57 involved in the shootings or not?
Does not appear to be the guy as of now.
That’s wonderful,I read all the posts.Seems like they know who are involved.
Yes, we joke about Baghdad Bob. But the Beltway, Big Apple, and Burbank Bobs are no joke.
... and Mexican cops can have guns too, to arrest a Marine for extortion money...
“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.
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..
