The alleged shooter of two Pennsylvania State Police troopers has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list. Eric Matthew Frein, a 31-year-old white male with ties to the mid-Atlantic region—including the states of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York—faces state charges of homicide, homicide of a law enforcement officer, and attempted murder, as well as a federal unlawful flight to avoid prosecution charge. He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.

The shootings occurred on September 12, 2014, when a gunman ambushed the two officers at the Pennsylvania State Police Blooming Grove Barracks in Pike County, Pennsylvania. Corporal Byron Dickson, 38, was fatally shot, and Trooper Alex Douglass, 31, was critically wounded. The subsequent investigation linked Frein to the shootings.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Frein. If you have any information, call the Pennsylvania State Police at [phone], or contact your nearest FBI office.

Frein is the 503rd person to appear on the Top Ten list since it was created in 1950. Since then, 472 fugitives have been apprehended or located, 156 of them as a result of citizen cooperation.

3. Where have you heard or seen that info?

I've followed this story very closely and you are the first mention of this guy being a former LEO, and fired by Cpl Dickson. I did a search and coming up with nothing on that. I don't believe that is correct info.
