BREAKING: Cop-Killer Hiding In Pennsylvania Woods Captured

by JASmius

Pennsylvania State Police, ending a seven-week manhunt, have captured a man accused of ambushing two troopers, leaving one dead and another seriously injured. Eric Frein, 31, was taken into custody Thursday, state police said. Frein was found near an abandoned air strip in Tannersville, Pennsylvania, where they received a report of a man going in and out of an empty hangar. U.S. Marshals in the area caught Frein when they witnessed him trying to go back into the hangar. Frein was arrested without incident, and authorities later found a sniper rifle and pistol stashed nearby. Frein was then transported to the Blooming Grove barracks to be booked and await arraignment - the same police station where he allegedly shot dead a state trooper on September 12.Pictures of Frein in the back of a police cruiser show him nursing a bleeding wound to the bridge of his nose. It's unclear how he sustained the injury. And after 48 days on the run, Frein was remarkably clean shaven. At a press conference held Thursday night, officials broke down the events leading up to Frein's capture. They said a group of U.S. Marshals was searching the area near the abandoned Birchwood Resort in Tannersville, about 35 miles southwest from the scene of the shooting last month. Around 6pm, the group observed Frein walking towards the airport hangar in the middle of the field and ordered him to stop.
