Pennsylvania State Trooper Killed, Another Injured in Shooting Outside Barracks 6:05AM Sunday September 14, 2014 (BLOOMING GROVE, Penn.) -- Law enforcement agencies from three states are searching for the gunman or gunmen who ambushed two state troopers outside a barracks in a rural area of northeastern Pennsylvania, killing one and wounding the other. The shooting happened outside the State Police Barracks in Blooming Grove, about 35 miles east of Scranton, just before 11 p.m. Friday, State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan told ABC News. The incident occurred during a shift change, claiming the life of Cpl. Bryon Dickson and wounding trooper Alex Douglass. Douglass is in critical but stable condition following surgery, according to police. Troopers from the eastern side of the state, as well as troopers from New York and New Jersey, are searching for those involved. Police are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. "It's a grave concern to us and we are putting every resource available to the Pennsylvania State Police or law enforcement in Pennsylvania in action," the commissioner said. Officials did not have a description of the gunman or gunmen, but said they do not believe the public is in danger. <a class="ExternURL" href="http://www.kabc.com/common/more.php?m=58&article=0CE7CF903B5111E4B51EFEFDADE6840A&mode=2" target="_blank">kabc.com

Why can't democrats win an open seat in DEMOCRATIC Iowa that they had a commanding lead in up until now? "In a campaign so far defined by hogs and chickens, the race for the open Iowa Senate seat that most expected to fall to Democrats is now perhaps the closest in the country. And with the control of the Senate majority at stake in the upcoming election, Democrats are dispatching their biggest stars to help, starting Sunday with Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Democratic candidate Rep. Bruce Braley, a four-term congressman, was once the front-runner to succeed Democratic powerhouse Sen. Tom Harkin. " latimes.com
