[quote]THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE.
THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE ARE ASKING ALL RESIDENTS OF BARRETT
AND PRICE TOWNSHIPS TO SHELTER IN PLACE IMMEDIATELY.
PLEASE DO NOT GO OUTDOORS AND REMAIN AWAY FROM WINDOWS OR OPENINGS
TO THE OUTSIDE.
PLEASE STAY TUNED TO MEDIA OUTLETS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.[/quote]
No one knows why they put a warning in that particular area. The manhunt for that guy who shot two state troopers, [url=http://abcnews.go.com/US/accused-cop-shooter-eric-frein-reenacting-rambo-colleague/story?id=25633499]Eric Frein[/url], started thirty miles north. Some people my boss knows live right smack in the middle of that area. They said that all the schools are closed and there were police absolutely everywhere in town. The cops are all worried because he mentioned something about wanting to take as many people with him as possible.

Here's a map of the area.
Is shelter in place like martial law light in the fact a curfew is enacted? Last time I heard that phrase was about Boston.
This is a bit concerning.
fun fact: several posters in the airsoft subforum knew him

It isn't enforced so tightly. There's no curfew, but I don't doubt that people who are walking around right now (there's pedestrians and bicyclists on the highway shoulders all the time here) will get stopped. The guy apparently lost his jeep up north and continued on foot.

Here's the reason why they put a warning in place: [url]http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-pa-mc-t-frein-home-neighbors-ordered-to-shelter-20140919-story.html[/url]
I live pretty close to this. My school hasn't shut down, but ones up a bit haven't been open all week, sports are being cancelled, etc. Everyone is worried after they found his mass-murder related intentions. I hope they find him, and soon. Shit's getting pretty tense.
