State police officials said whoever shot and killed a trooper and wounded another is "a coward and we will get you."

Officials with the Pennsylvania State Police released some new information Monday afternoon at news conference in Pike County.

Corporal Bryon Dickson of Dunmore was killed and Trooper Alex Douglass of Olyphant was wounded and remains in the hospital.

At the news conference, troopers said the weapon used to shoot the victims was a .308 caliber rifle.

They believe the shooter may have had issues with law enforcement in the past and may be linked directly to the Blooming Grove barracks. They also think the shooter may be a Pike County resident with extensive firearms training.

State police say they are not intimidated by this act. Instead, they are determined.

"You're a coward. You committed this spineless act and attacked defenseless troopers, shot them. They had no opportunity to defend themselves," said Lt. Col. George Bivens, Deputy Commissioner Of Operations, Pennsylvania State Police.

The governor of Pennsylvania stopped by the barracks and was briefed on the ambush and the ongoing investigation.

"Nobody's going to let a minute go by that they're not investigating this until we bring this individual whoever did this to justice," Governor Corbett said.

Officials with the FBI and law enforcement from several states have joined forces in this investigation.

The reward for information leading to an arrest has been raised to $75,000. The tip line number is 866-326-7256.

Troopers say although this act may have been meant to scare troopers, they remain determined and focused on the task at hand: seeking justice.
