BLOOMING GROVE, PA — At press time, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) had not found and arrested Eric Matthew Frein, but said they are getting closer to him.

They are continuing their investigation into the shooting incident that occurred at the Blooming Grove station where two Pennsylvania State Police troopers were ambushed by Eric Matthew Frein.

Frein is believed be the person who killed one trooper on September 12, and wounded another. Lt. Col. George Bevins said Frein had been planning the attack for months or perhaps years.

“Based on our investigation, our search efforts at this point in time are primarily focused around the Pike and Monroe county border,” said Bivens. “We continue to follow-up on other leads and as we track his movements, our search efforts will be refocused accordingly.”

Bivens said, “We know archery season is right around the corner—so, we are asking you to refrain from that in these areas until Frein is captured.”
