Corporal Bryon Keith Dickson II, 38, was ambushed and killed outside the Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County on the night of September 12, 2014. As he walked out of the barracks at about 11:00 p.m., he was struck by a shot from a .308-caliber rifle. A dispatcher who tried to pull him to safety was driven back when the shooter fired again. Another trooper, Alex Douglass, was seriously wounded when he came to Dickson’s aid. Dickson was shot a second time and died at the scene. A United States Marine Corps veteran, Dickson had served seven years with the Pennsylvania State Police and was a married father of two sons.

Investigators identified Eric Matthew Frein as the man responsible for the ambush after finding his partially submerged SUV in a swamp a few miles from the barracks three days later; shell casings matching those at the scene and Frein’s driver’s license were inside the vehicle. A 48-day manhunt involving up to 1,000 officers followed, ending with Frein’s capture at an abandoned airfield on October 30, 2014. He was arrested with a rifle and a pistol.

Did anyone who knew Corporal Dickson or who was in Blooming Grove that night see anything that could still help clarify what happened?
