Police have had a strong presence in the area all week in their attempt to locate Frein. Authorities say Frein is allegedly responsible for the shootings of two State Police troopers at the Blooming Grove barracks last weekend. State Police issued a shelter in place warning at about 7:30 p.m. Friday night. They said the warning was "due to police activity in the area." The public is asked not to travel to this area.
