Police: Barracks ambushed in September reopens

BLOOMING GROVE — State police say the Blooming Grove barracks, closed to the public since an ambush that killed one trooper and wounded another two months, ago will resume full operations on Wednesday, Nov. 12.

The Blooming Grove barracks was the scene of the Sept. 12 ambush that killed Corporal Bryon Dickson and critically wounded Trooper Alex Douglass.

Thirty-one-year-old suspect Eric Frein eluded a massive manhunt in the Pocono mountains for seven weeks but was captured Oct. 30. He faces charges including murder and attempted murder.

Douglass was discharged from a hospital a little more than a month after the shooting.
