Police: Fugitive's diary describes Pa. trooper ambush

8:22 PM
Pa. Police Barracks Shooting

Eric Frein described killing one Pennsylvania trooper and wounding another in a diary found during the manhunt for the fugitive survivalist wanted for ambushing the two officers, the state police said Wednesday.
"Got a shot around 11 p.m. and took it, He dropped. I was surprised at how quick," according to the entry dated Sept. 12, the day of the shootings at the police barracks in Blooming Grove, Pa. "I took a follow-up shot on his head and neck area. He was still and quiet after that."
The description refers to the killing of Cpl. Bryon Dixon, who was gunned down as he left the station at shift change.
Frein, 31, then described wounding the other officer, trooper Alex Douglass, before fleeing in his Jeep and driving inadvertently into a pond without his lights on after encountering a road block.
"Disaster," he wrote in the diary, which was found at a campsite Frein abandoned in the woods of the Pocono Mountains, where he has eluded capture.
In addition to murder and attempted-murder charges, Frein will be charged with possessing weapons of mass destruction as a result of two pipe bombs found Sept. 29 with ammunition, food, water and clothing.
Frein has been spotted four times since Friday, Bivens said, most recently Tuesday afternoon from about 200 yards away.
