CANADENSIS, Pa. – There won't be any trick-or-treating in the northeastern Pennsylvania area where authorities continue searching for suspect accused of killing a state trooper.
Officials in rural Barrett Township canceled the beloved Halloween ritual and the annual parade because of the police manhunt for Eric Frein.
But kids did get to "trunk or treat" over the weekend. The event held at a school parking lot included candy, a costume contest and car trunks decorated for the spooky holiday.
Organizers called it a success, saying hundreds of children and adults attended. Still, Halloween parade chairwoman Betty Oppelt says the community is missing a major tradition this year.
Frein is charged with opening fire outside the Blooming Grove barracks on Sept. 12, killing Trooper Bryon Dickson and seriously wounding Trooper Alex Douglass.
The hottest stories ripped from the headlines, from crime to courts, legal and scandal.
