PIKE COUNTY, Pa. — It has been ten years since the ambush that left one state trooper dead and another severely injured.
On September 12th, 2014, Corporal Bryon Dickson was shot and killed outside of the State Police Barracks at Blooming Grove in Pike County.
Dickson's fellow trooper, Alex Douglass, was severely injured in the attack.
The ambush set off a more than a month-long manhunt for the gunman, Eric Frein.
Forty-eight days after the shootings, authorities found Frein hiding at the old Birchwood Resort in Pocono Township.
Corporal Dickson left behind a wife and two sons.
Trooper Alex Douglas has since recovered. He married in 2019 and participated in the New York City Marathon.
In 2017, Eric Frein was found guilty of first-degree murder and other crimes. He was sentenced to death. Pennsylvania had a death penalty moratorium at the time, and that hold on executions still stands today.
