Thanks for posting. I have a relative who is a trooper at a nearby barracks.
If you see posts of interest to Pennsylvanians, please ping me.
Thanks!
Thanks Tamzee
Prayers up.
Interesting.
I’m waiting for MSNBC to break in reporting that militia tea partiers are on a rampage. Kinda like they’ve done for everything else. It was tea partiers who bombed Pearl Harbor—didn’t you know?
Will take a look around, if find anything will bring to your link.
I’m in Pike County and this police barracks is about 15 miles from my house.
Before commenting I need to see pictures and descriptions of the shooters and deceased.
“PA Crime Stoppers is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case.”
“Our crews have watched more than 100 police vehicles race up Route 402 towards the Blooming Grove barracks just off Interstate 84.”
“a massive manhunt is under way, with police from Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey involved in the search.”
“Newswatch 16 was also there as numerous medical helicopters were seen taking off in the area.
SWAT team vehicles also arrived in the Blooming Grove area just before 1 a.m. Saturday.”
So this is what it’s like when law enforcement actually
take their job seriously. This is definitely not revenue
related. This would be on par with your typical NY/Detroit/Chicago/LA drive by. Whats the deal? Why so many resources?
Any updates on motive or shooter’s relation to victims?
Where’s Bill Ayers?
10:51 p.m. Paramedics are first called to the state police barracks for a shooting. "There are two victims at this time," a dispatcher said.
10:53 p.m. Dispatches report: "Code 17-G," the code for a shooting, "multiple victims."
11:13 p.m. Paramedics request helicopters to fly the shooting victims from the scene. Crews begin establishing "LZ [landing zone] for two helicopters" near intersection of Intersection 84 and Route 402 in Blooming Grove Township. "They are going to fly, they do have an 11 and 14 ETA [estimated time of arrival]."
11:21 p.m. Dispatches call for the landing zone to be established at Interstate 84 and Route 402 is rebroadcast.
11:23 p.m. Paramedics are told there is a seven and 18 minute wait for the helicopters.
11:26 p.m. Fire police setting up the landing zone at I-84 and Route 402 report: "We are under fire. We are moving the landing zone to the middle school."

so with no info on the shooter(s) what are all these people searching for..over time?
From the scant info released, it appears there were 2 shooting scenes. Police were shot at for 45 minutes, first at the barracks, then at the extraction site where the air ambulance helicopters were brought in.
20 to 30 rounds fired, but no mention if some of that was return fire. Sounds like an organized attack, not a random driveby.
Why all the secrecy? If they want the public’s help, the public needs to know a little about what is happening.
