CANADENSIS, pa. — Nine days after a gunman opened fire in a deadly ambush at a Pennsylvania state police barracks, authorities said Sunday they have recovered one of his weapons and think they are hot on his trail as he travels on foot through rugged forests.
Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens revealed more details about the manhunt for Eric Frein, saying trackers have found items he hid or abandoned in the woods — including an AK-47 assault rifle and ammunition they think he had been carrying while on the run.
“We are pushing him hard, he is no longer safe, and I am confident that he will be apprehended,” Bivens said. Authorities did not yet know whether the weapon had been used in the ambush, he said.
