(WBRE/WYOU) — Wednesday marked ten years since one of the largest manhunts in Pennsylvania history.

It was October 30, 2014, when Pennsylvania State Police captured Eric Frein.

Frein shot two state troopers during an ambush at the State Police Blooming Grove barracks in Pike County.

Corporal Bryan Dickson was killed, and Trooper Alex Douglass was critically injured.

Frein was on the run for 48 days before a US Marshals' special operations group found him hiding near an abandoned airport hangar.

Frein was later convicted and sentenced to death in 2017. He remains on death row.
