The Blooming Grove state police barracks in Pike County, closed since the Sept. 12 sniper attack that claimed one trooper's life and critically wounded another, reopened Friday.

However, not everyone who worked the night of the ambush has returned to work, barracks commander and Scranton native Lt. Christopher Paris said by phone Monday.At least one bullet flew into the barracks' lobby while employees tried to pull Cpl. Bryon Dickson and trooper Alex Douglass out of harm's way.Police accuse Eric Matthew Frein, 308 Seneca Lane, Canadensis, with firing the .308-caliber rifle that killed Dickson, of Dunmore, and injured Douglass, of Olyphant.The stress and devastation of the "immeasurable tragedy" have weighed heavily on the whole group, Paris said."The way that we feel we're going to get through this is together," he said. "Since September the 12th, we've literally made it minute by minute. Let's get through the next minute and then we'll worry about the next minute after that. That's how we've done it and that's how we're going to continue to do it. I can't say enough about the mettle of the individuals at Blooming Grove."On-duty troopers have been using the barracks sporadically since last month, but just started working full-time out of the building Friday.The barracks has made some security improvements, trooper Connie Devens said in an email Monday, but releasing that information to the public would render them useless.
