BLOOMING GROVE TOWNSHIP -- As an army of troopers once again scour the woods Tuesday, there is word that investigators know who they're looking for.

State police announced that another news conference is planned for this afternoon on the investigation into the search for the person who killed a state police corporal and injured another trooper in an ambush at the Blooming Grove barracks Friday night.

There is word out there is a possible suspect in the case.

The search for the shooter seemed to intensify overnight and into the morning hours spanning both Pike and Monroe Counties.

WPVI, our ABC affiliate in Philadelphia is reporting police believe they know who they are looking for.

Armored vehicles now sit at the Blooming Grove Baptist Church near the barracks, an area that had been cleared of police vehicles less than 24 hours ago.

Officials tell WPVI that a jeep was found in swampy area near the barracks in Blooming Grove. Inside that jeep was evidence that connects the suspect to the ambush.

WPVI reports that state police say the Jeep is registered to the suspect's father, but is owned by the suspect who lives and works in Delaware.

Police were seen searching in two locations late last night between Pike and Monroe Counties and have been seen armed outside the barracks all morning long.

Our crews in the area have been told to stay away and that the area around the barracks is not safe.

the state police plan to hold another news conference at the pike county training facility this afternoon, where we are hoping to learn just how much closer troopers are to catching the person responsible.
