Pa. State Police Ask Residents In Price, Barrett Townships To Stay Inside Homes

Source: CBS Philadelphia

MONROE COUNTY, Pa. (CBS) — Around 7:30 p.m. Friday, the Pennsylvania State Police asked residents in the Price and Barrett Townships areas of Monroe County to stay inside their residences due to police activity in the area.

The public is also asked not to travel to this area.

State Police said they would not take questions.

Police have had a strong presence in the area as the manhunt continues for Eric Frein, who authorities say is being sought in connection with last week’s shooting at the Blooming Grove barracks that left one trooper dead and another wounded.

in that area this morning. First time I have seen them use that (they have a suite of non-weather related warnings for quick dissemination to the public, including Amber Alerts).

especially if you had a family and kids and this guy has nothing to lose at this point. Might you want a gun? Btw I've never owned a gun and only have shot skeet and targets, years ago.
