Pennsylvania State Trooper dies in shooting, another wounded.

Two Pennsylvania State Police troopers
shot late Friday night, one fatally, were ambushed
just outside the police barracks in Blooming
Grove, Pennsylvania, Commissioner Frank Noonan
told reporters. The shooter or shooters have not
been found, he said.
"I know a lot of people are wondering if the threat
is resolved. It is not," he said.
Police don't have a description of the shooters or
any information about what the motive was. But
Noonan said "this attack seems to be directed
particularly at the Pennsylvania State Police."
The shooting happened at 10:50 p.m. Friday
night at the agency's Blooming Grove barracks.
One trooper died in the shooting. Another was
wounded, had surgery and is in stable condition,
Noonan said.
He declined to release the identities of either
trooper.
Police from New York, New Jersey and
throughout the Northeast are assisting in the
search for the shooter or shooters, Noonan said.
