Manhunt for gunman of a state police barracks ambush

A survivalist accused of ambushing two Pennsylvania state troopers, leaving one dead and seriously injuring the other, was captured on Thursday, ending a seven-week manhunt for him, authorities said.

State police confirmed Eric Frein was taken into custody but released no details.

A federal law enforcement official in Washington said Frein was armed when he was captured by U.S. marshals on Thursday. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the circumstances of Frein's arrest and spoke to The Associated Press anonymously. (AP)
