[naviga:h2]Expert: Suspect wrote about attack[/naviga:h2]

MILFORD — A handwriting expert says that a journal describing the fatal 2014 ambush of a Pennsylvania state police trooper was written by the man charged in the attack.

State police Cpl. Mark Gardner testified Thursday at the trial of Eric Frein (freen), who’s charged in the ambush that killed Cpl. Bryon Dickson II and wounded a second trooper.

Gardner told jurors the handwriting on three crumpled notebook pages that police found in a trash bag near Frein’s campsite was a match to the defendant.

The journal described how the gunman “got a shot around 11 p.m. and took it,” watching one of his victims fall “still and quiet.”

PITTSBURGH — Donald Trump Jr. has taken to Twitter to mock a group of Pittsburgh college students opposed to the addition of a Chick-fil-A restaurant to their campus.

A student newspaper at Duquesne University reports that a student government representative last month proposed asking the university to reconsider the addition of a Chick-fil-A. Niko Martini told The Duquesne Duke that Chick-fil-A “has a questionable history on civil rights and human rights.”

Trump Jr. tweeted a link to an article on the controversy Thursday and wrote: “Luckily these students wont likely have to tackle issues more stressful than a yummy chicken sandwich in their lives... Oh Wait #triggered”

Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy has publicly spoken about his opposition to gay marriage.

WILKES-BARRE — The son of a Pennsylvania fire chief has been sentenced to a maximum of 23 months in prison for arson.

Richard Thomas Hart, son of Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Chief Richard Hart, pleaded no contest to a single felony count of arson in March. The 19-year-old was charged with setting a fire at a vacant home then responding to the blaze as a volunteer firefighter.

Prosecutors pushed for a stiff sentence, saying the fire threatened the life of a resident next to the vacant home.
