Police find weapon belonging to accused cop killer

Authorities have found an AK-47 style weapon, ammunition and other items they believe belong to the accused cop killer who disappeared in the woods of rural northeastern Pennsylvania after his bloody ambush nine days ago. What happened was that a Man named Eric Frein killed one trooper and wounded another during a sniper ambush last week. And after he did this, he disappeared into the woods. The police are now trying to find him. His Motive for doing this is Unknown. But it is said that Frein changed his hairstyle- he shaved it on the sides leaving a wide Mohawk like stripe on top before he attacked the troopers. Frein is placed under a First- Degree murder charge.

What do you think his motives could have been? Do you think that they are going to find him? And if they do, what do you think will happen to Eric Frein?

  • Theres no telling what they will do, i think honestly they need to test him for something because hes obviously got something really wrong with him.

  • With as many killings happening today, and the amount of people that have guns and things they are not supposed, I think that his motive could of been a wide variety of things. I think that they will find him, from listening to the up to date news, and I think that he will be sentenced to jail for a while facing multiple charges.

  • You never really know anymore what people's motives are. It could have been something small or big. I think that they will be able to find him, and I don't know what the exact punishment is for first-degree murder, but I'm sure he will be fined and placed in prison.

  • It could be a plot for revenge from a charge or arrest from years ago, or something even more sinister. I hope they find him. I heard he was a survivalist though, so he may be hidden for quite a while

  • This is really horrible and I hope that they are able to find him soon! I think he has some sort of mental illness or has something against law enforcement which is why he is doing this. When he is caught I think he will be facing a lot of charges and hopefully he will get locked up for a while so he is unable to hurt or kill anyone else!

  • Depends on if he messes up on how he is hiding in the woods. He is a survivalist which could be bad news for the cops.

  • I am guessing that he had something against this trooper and that he wanted to get revenge on the trooper for something. I think that he is way out of state and I don't think that they will be able to find him.

  • I don't think they will be able to because in woods there are lots of books and crannies to hide in. I doubt that he had any motive for it other than getting attention and for enjoyment. I bet he runs off into Canada and lives his life normally.
    • That's a funny way to describe it, saying that this is in Pennsylvania. But Ill have to disagree. I think that they will find him eventually

  • You can never know someone's motive for doing something. I think that if there was a reason, it would be that he has had issues with troopers before. I do believe we are going to find him. I believe that Eric Frein will be charged with murder and will be in prison for a decent amount of time.
