Eric Frein is a coward. He shot two Pennsylvania State Troopers. Cpl. Bryon Dickson is dead. The other, Alex Douglass was seriously injured. They were between shifts. On Sunday, an AK-47 style assault rifle and several magazines were found. He had been planning this attack for months or even years.

He has been spotted, but from too far away to actually catch him.

Those police officers weren't chasing him down for a crime when he aimed that gun. He wasn't defending himself. They were in uniform. Dickson was leaving the Barracks and Douglass was entering. He wanted to kill police officers.
He is a survivalist who has no real military experience. He's part of a military simulation unit in Pennsylvania. He is also a military re-enactor. His father is retired from the military. When someone is this obsessed with the military, they enlist themselves. I haven't seen anything published about it yet but I would guess that he tried to enlist but was rejected for some reason.

He has a traffic citation for driving a car without an inspection and was arrested for stealing things from a WWII re-enactment in New York. Why would he be so against Pennsylvania State Police if his big arrest was in New York? Perhaps that traffic citation effected his ability to enlist in the military. I doubt that though. There is more to his past then published. Why does he hate the Pennsylvania State Police? No one knows yet.

Why do I call him a coward? Because instead of solving his problems, he became a murderer. Instead of turning himself in, he is running and hiding. He spent his time planning to murder someone who is there to protect and serve the citizens of the state instead of using that time to work through his issues. Worst of all, he pointed that gun at two Police Officers that weren't aware a gun was being pointed at them.
I can't imagine the pain family, friends, and brothers in blue must feel right now. I am rooting for this coward to be caught. Let the good guys beat the bad guy! This hasn't left my mind since the shooting happened. I can't think of any encouraging words that seem strong enough. Maybe I don't need motivational words. Maybe all I can say is:
PA State Police: Hunt Evil............Catch Evil!!!
GOT 'EM EDIT:
Evil turned himself in! Maybe now he can get the help he needs. Now top notch interrogators can get some answers! But there are two questions I have that I will probably never know the answers to.
1. Why didn't he get into the military?
2. What does he have against the PA State Police?
There must be a lot of relief in Pennsylvania right now! He was caught in an abandoned Pocono Airpark. He was surprised he was found but admitted who he was. He was taken away in the handcuffs of the trooper he killed! To me, that's PERFECT!!!
