Accused cop-killer Eric Frein described the deadly ambush of a Pennsylvania State Police barracks in a note found at his campsite in the woods, authorities said Wednesday.
'Got a shot around 11 p.m. and took it,' he wrote a diary entry dated Sept. 12, the day he is alleged to have gunned down one trooper and wounded another.
'He dropped. I was surprised at how quick. I took a follow-up shot on his head and neck area. He was still and quiet after that,' the narrative read.
Frein went on to describe how he wounded a second officer before fleeing in his Jeep. The note said he got a half-mile before he encountered a roadblock, made a turn and ended up driving without his lights into a pond.
'Disaster,' he wrote.
After the Jeep was found in the pond, Frein was charged with killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson and wounding a second trooper at the Blooming Grove barracks. He has been at large for more than three weeks despite a massive manhunt.
'I can only describe Eric Frein's actions as pure evil,' Lt. Col. George Bivens said. 'Every so often true evil rears its ugly head and we must deal with it.'
Bivens said that Frein was being charged with two counts of weapons of mass destruction because two pipe bombs were also found in the woods where he was hiding.
