Trooper Killed

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. --

The search for a man sought in the fatal shooting of a Pennsylvania State Police trooper Wednesday has ended after he and his wife were found dead inside the house where the trooper was shot.

A bulletproof vest remained lying in the snow where state police said Trooper Paul G. Richey, 40, was shot after arriving at a house on Bredinsburg Road just outside Oil City in Cranberry Township, Venango County.

Venango County Deputy Coroner Chris Hile said the trooper -- a 16-year veteran, husband and father of two young children -- was taken to UPMC Northwest Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
