Manhunt in Woods for Armed Survivalist Who Shot Two State Troopers [View all]

Police in Pennsylvania are combing the Poconos for a rage-affected, cop-hating 31-year-old prepper and shooting enthusiast who "doesn't miss" after he reportedly ambushed two state troopers at their barracks, killing one and injuring another.

Eric Matthew Frein now faces first-degree murder and a host of other charges in connection with the attack that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickinson and injured Trooper Alex Douglass last Friday, ABC News reports:

He's a skilled shooter who "doesn't miss," his father, a retired U.S. Army Major, told police. The father also told police that he was missing two weapons, a .308 rifle with a scope and an AK-47, according to court documents released today...

Police who searched his home found a copy of a book entitled Sniper Training and Employment, according to the court documents.
