Hundreds of police line the streets at funeral of state trooper shot dead by survivalist as search for his killer enters its sixth day

The police trooper shot dead in an ambush by a 'Cold War-obsessed' sniper survivalist was an impeccable officer who put his family first, it emerged at his funeral today.

As a manhunt for Cpl. Bryon Dickson's killer continued 40 miles away, police Commissioner Frank Noonan told hundreds of mourners gathered at St. Peter's Cathedral in Scranton that the father-of-two 'was no ordinary trooper.'

The mourners included Dickson's wife, Tiffany, who wore dark sunglasses as she held the hand of their youngest son Adam.

Dickson, 38, was gunned down late Friday outside his rural barracks in the Pocono Mountains.

Police are still searching for the suspected shooter, 31-year-old Eric Frein who is charged with killing Dickson and wounding another trooper in an ambush that authorities said was likely fueled by his hatred of law enforcement.
