"Suspect in Penn. trooper ambush captured" Associated Press, October 31, 2014
LORDS VALLEY, Pa. — A survivalist accused of ambushing two state troopers, killing one and seriously wounding the other, was captured Thursday by US marshals in an abandoned airplane hangar, ending a seven-week manhunt that had rattled the nerves of residents, authorities said.
Prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Eric Frein, District Attorney Ray Tonkin said.
The quiet takedown of Frein ended weeks of tension and turmoil in the area, as authorities at times closed schools, canceled outdoor events, and blockaded roads to pursue him. Residents grew weary of hearing helicopters overhead, while small businesses suffered mounting losses and town supervisors canceled a Halloween parade.
Time to call off the psyop fraud, huh?
"Saying Frein was armed and extremely dangerous, officials had closed schools and urged residents to be alert and cautious. Using dogs, thermal imaging technology and other tools, law enforcement officials combed miles of forest as they hunted for the suspect, whom they called an experienced survivalist at home in the woods.
They pursued countless tips, and closed in on an area around Frein’s parents’ home in Canadensis after he used his cellphone to try contacting them, and the signal was traced to a location about three miles away."
Are you flipping kidding? The idiot used his cellphone?

I'm sorry, folks, but the whole thing looks like a total hoax to me so you will feel sympathy for the murderous police.

"Sheriff says Wash. school shooter invited victims to lunch" by Gene Johnson | Associated Press October 28, 2014
MARYSVILLE, Wash. — A popular student responsible for a deadly shooting at a Washington state high school on Friday invited his victims to lunch by text message, then shot them at their table, investigators said Monday.
Snohomish County Sheriff Ty Trenary said at a news conference that the five students were at a lunch table when they were shot by 15-year-old Jaylen Fryberg. Fryberg then committed suicide, the medical examiner said.
Two of the students have died of their wounds, and three others are hospitalized.
Detectives are digging through reams of text messages, phone, and social media records as part of an investigation that could take months, Trenary said.
It is going to take that long to construct a cover story?
********
Fryberg, a football player who was named a prince on the school’s homecoming court one week before the killings, was a member of a prominent Tulalip Indian Tribes family. He seemed happy although he was also upset about a girl, friends said.
His Twitter feed was recently full of vague, anguished postings, like ‘‘It won’t last . . . It’ll never last,’’ and ‘‘I should have listened. . . . You were right . . . The whole time you were right.’’
On Friday, after texting five friends to invite them to lunch, he pulled out a handgun in the cafeteria and started shooting....
It's looking like some sort of sick mind control to me, but just in case we have to remove all the guns from homes where there are children because, you know, you never know.
The Snohomish County medical examiner on Monday ruled Fryberg’s death a suicide. There had been some question over whether he might have shot himself accidentally as a teacher tried to intervene, but Trenary said Monday that investigators confirmed there was no physical contact between the teacher and the gunman....
Already covering up what happened!

"California shooting suspects arraigned" by Don Thompson | Associated Press October 29, 2014
SACRAMENTO — Prosecutors filed murder charges Tuesday against two Utah residents in the slayings of two California sheriff’s deputies during a shooting rampage that also left a motorist and third deputy wounded.
Luis Enrique Monroy- Bracamonte, who was booked into jail under the pseudonym Marcelo Marquez, and his wife, 38-year-old Janelle Marquez Monroy, appeared separately in court for an arraignment, but did not enter pleas.
They were both shackled and in a courtroom cell surrounded by sheriff’s deputies during their appearances.
Monroy-Bracamonte, his left forearm heavily bandaged from an injury he suffered before his arrest, asked Sacramento Superior Court Judge Helena Gweon to slow down as she read the charges against him.
Immigration authorities say Monroy-Bracamonte has been living in the United States illegally after being convicted in Arizona for selling drugs in 1997 and deported to Mexico twice, most recently in 2001.
Just thought that was something of note. I'm sure he was only here trying to put food on the table for his family and should be given amnesty.
The 14-count complaint charges both with the murder of one deputy, though authorities say Monroy-Bracamonte fired the fatal shots. He alone is charged with the other slaying.
Monroy-Bracamonte is facing special circumstances that could qualify him for the death penalty. At a press conference, Sacramento District Attorney Jan Scully said she and Placer County District Attorney Ronald ‘‘Scott’’ Owens, who are jointly prosecuting the pair, have not yet decided whether to seek his execution. ‘‘The facts speak for themselves,’’ she said, but added prosecutors follow a legal protocol in making such decisions. ‘‘We’re not going to treat this case any differently.’’
The prosecutors, joined by sheriffs from both counties, declined to say if they have determined a motive for the shootings or why the pair had come to California, where they apparently had no ties. The couple appeared to be living quietly in the Salt Lake City area until their arrest in California.
Attorneys for Monroy- Bracamonte and Monroy declined to comment on the charges after the hearing.
Jeff Barbour, the public defender who is representing Monroy-Bracamonte, said he had just been appointed and had not seen the police reports. Peter Kmeto, who is representing Monroy, said he would reserve his comments for court.
Authorities say Monroy- Bracamonte, 34, fired the fatal shots during Friday’s rampage, first killing Sacramento County Deputy Daniel Oliver, then wounding a motorist while attempting to carjack his vehicle. The charges say he used a .9mm handgun in both shootings.
Both are charged with the attempted murder and attempted carjacking of motorist Anthony Davis, Monroy as an accomplice. Davis is recovering from multiple gunshot wounds.
The couple is also charged with two more attempted carjackings and one carjacking.
They fled to neighboring Placer County, where Monroy-Bracamonte is charged with killing a second deputy and wounding a third using an AR-15 assault rifle. He and his wife are charged with the murder of Placer County homicide detective Michael Davis. The complaint says he fired the shot but that she was an accomplice.
The complaint alleges that Monroy-Bracamonte stole a Placer County sheriff’s department vehicle along with a sheriff’s department shotgun.
It also accuses the pair of attempting to murder two other Placer County sheriff’s deputies, Charles Bardo and Joseph Roseli, along with attempting to murder and wounding Placer County deputy Jeffrey Davis.

"Police: New Mexico deputy kills fleeing colleague" by Juan Carlos Llorca | Associated Press October 29, 2014
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — A northern New Mexico sheriff’s deputy fired several rounds from his semiautomatic weapon and killed a fellow deputy as his colleague tried to flee an alcohol-fueled argument at a hotel, police said Tuesday.
Just a bunch of above-the-law thugs now.
The shooting happened just after midnight at Hotel Encanto in the southern New Mexico city of Las Cruces, where the two Santa Fe County deputies had stopped to spend the night after transporting a prisoner to Safford, Ariz.
Jeremy Martin, 29, was pronounced dead at MountainView Regional Medical Center, and detectives were interviewing the other deputy, Tai Chan, 27.
Chan’s attorney, Santa Fe lawyer John Day, said, ‘‘It’s a tragic situation for everybody involved.’’
Yeah, it's tragic when a jackboot is killed, but for all the citizens blown away by cops it was deserved for they are always absolved.
***********
Investigators say the two deputies went to Dublin’s Street Pub, where they drank and got into an argument, which escalated at the hotel.
Nothing good ever seems to come from alcohol. That's why I'm for the return of Prohibition. If it's good enough for pot, it's better for booze. Booze obviously kills people.
As Martin tried to flee into an elevator, several rounds were fired that hit him in the back and arms, authorities said.
Police arrived at the hotel and found Martin staggering off the elevator with multiple wounds, Las Cruces police spokesman Dan Trujillo said.
