BLOOMING GROVE TOWNSHIP -- State police and a team of investigators are out again trying once again to catch the man who shot and killed a trooper.

Some schools are closed, others are on alert and many communities are on edge, all as state police continue their search for a suspect they say is "armed and very dangerous."

There is still no word today on where Eric Frein might be.

At the same time the community is preparing to mourn the trooper who was killed in Friday night's ambush on two troopers outside the state police barracks in Blooming Grove.

On Wednesday morning, seven Pennsylvania State Police cruisers rushed to an area off Route 590 in Paupack Township after workers in the area say they saw a man in camouflage with a gun.

Frein is described as a 31-year-old man who has anti-government feelings.

We're also told that Frein is a survivalist who knows his way around the woods and is a trained shooter.

Troopers spent time Tuesday at Frein's home in Canadensis. Investigators tell us there they found a book about sniper training and more shell casings. They warn the public to stay safe.

If you have any information to help police track down Eric Frein, you're asked to call 866-326-7256.

A $75,000 reward is being offered.
