Accused Pennsylvania gunman who eluded police for nearly two months will face trial

The man accused of shooting two Pennsylvania state troopers before escaping into a densely wooded part of the Pocono Mountains, avoiding capture for nearly two months, will go on trial.

Eric Frein, the man identified by police as the suspected gunman days after the Sept. 12 shooting, appeared in court for a preliminary hearing Monday. A judge determined that there is enough evidence for Frein to face trial.

Frein has been charged with shooting two state troopers outside a barracks in Blooming Grove, a small township in northeastern Pennsylvania. Police said he shot and killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson, who was leaving the barracks, and seriously wounded Alex Douglass, who was arriving.
