Pennsylvania State Trooper Wounded In Ambush Released From Hospital
SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) -- A Pennsylvania state trooper wounded in an ambush at a rural police barracks has been released from a hospital after more than a month of treatment.
Trooper Alex Douglass left Geisinger Community Medical Center with a police escort on Thursday. He was taken by ambulance to a rehabilitation facility.
Geisinger spokeswoman Wendy Wilson said Friday that "there were a lot of hugs, a lot of high-fives and a lot of well-wishes for him on his way."
Douglass was wounded in the Sept. 12 ambush outside the Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson.
Thirty-one-year-old suspect Eric Frein has eluded police despite an intense manhunt.
