Prayers to the trooper's family that this had to happen and especially so at this time of year.

PS an update just coming in...Being incredibly and ironicly PC, the state police are saying that even though the suspects should be considered armed and dangerous, there is NO IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE PUBLIC.
Sigh...why try.

Everyday these brave law enforcement officers put their lives on the line for us. They are our domestic version of the military and like our military, they do a great job day in and day out. They only get press coverage when a bad apple can be used to make them all look by by the media, or when one dies on duty.
Tears and prayers to his family and for his soul.
I hope your wife is armed.
Make sure your wife is taking safety measures - locked doors, dog by her side, loaded gun or other weapon, and phone in her hand. If she has to go outside remind her to be very careful, even in the garage.
Prayers to the officer and his family.
Just, I'm so phreakin' angry !!!
Best wishes for your wife, and you.
We had a somewhat similar incident a few years ago, fairly near my wife's workplace:
Camden deputy gunned down

The spooky part was that the perp dumped his bloody clothes in one of her co-worker's carport before fleeing the area.
You just never know when something like that will strike near home.
Hi, I have a daughter at WPSD and I'm very new to PA - Parkway West is right off 376 west, right? I know they will keep the kids safe at school, but this does leave me uneasy.
Bump to see if the public wishes are met (they're killed) or if the lawyers are going to win (they live). That seems to have become the $64k question these days. Now, when I read that the criminals AND most of the lawyers (what redundancy) have been killed, then it will indeed be a wonderful morning. Don't bother flaming, you'll just get all burned up for nothing.
And, 26 years from now when the details are forgotten, the liberal elite will call for pardons. I say 26 minutes on Death Row is too long for these four.
"NO IMMEDIATE THREAT TO THE PUBLIC"
Nothing to see here. They're only armed killers.
Oh, man. Prayers offered up for the murdered officer's family.
ping for your consideration.
Friggin scumbags.
I have a friend that is a policeman and is a friend to this trooper. I feel for their families that have to worry every day if they will get that dreaded call.
Prayers to his family. God comfort them in this time of need.
