BLOOMING GROVE – A Pennsylvania trooper wounded in a deadly September ambush outside his barracks is home for a holiday visit.
Trooper Alex Douglass left a rehabilitation center to spend Christmas with family in Lackawanna County. Lt. Chris Paris said Douglass is in good spirits but has a long way to go with his rehabilitation in New York.
Douglass posted a message through his brother’s Facebook page thanking supporters for their well wishes. A photo shows him standing on crutches next to a Christmas tree.
Military re-enactor Eric Frein is accused of shooting Douglass in the pelvis and fatally shooting Cpl. Bryon Dickson outside the Blooming Grove barracks Sept. 12.
The Canadensis man is scheduled for a Jan. 5 preliminary hearing after being on the run for seven weeks.
