Court: PA can't keep guns seized from Eric Frein's parents

[mikelets456]

BLOOMING GROVE, Pa. — Pennsylvania cannot keep weapons seized from the parents of Eric Frein.

Frein's parents sued after authorities refused to return 25 rifles, 19 pistols, and two shotguns that were taken from their home in September 2014, just days after Frein ambushed troopers at the Blooming Grove Barracks in Pike County.

Corporal Bryon Dickson was killed, and Trooper Alex Douglass was left with devastating injuries.

Eugene Michael Frein and Deborah Frein were not charged in their son's crime — for which he was convicted and sentenced to death — and none of their weapons were used in his deadly late-night assault.

The Pike County district attorney, who was named as a defendant in the parents' suit, had argued that authorities had the right to hold the seized weapons, saying they might be needed as evidence during Eric Frein's state and federal appeals.
