   (CNN) -- Two Pennsylvania State Police troopers shot late   
   Friday, one fatally, were ambushed just outside the police   
   barracks in Blooming Grove, Commissioner Frank Noonan told   
   reporters.   
      
   Cpl. Bryon K. Dickson was killed and Trooper Alex T. Douglass   
   was in stable but critical condition, Noonan said Saturday.   
   The shooting happened at 10:50 p.m. Friday in a rural, wooded   
   area.   
      
   "It cuts us to the core that such an event could happen," Noonan   
   said. "[They] really had no chance to defend themselves. It's a   
   cowardly attack."   
      
   Dickson and Douglass were young troopers with families. Dickson   
   previously served at the Philadelphia barracks, according to   
   Noonan.   
      
   "Every attack on an officer of the law is an attack on our   
   state, our country and civilized society," Gov. Tom Corbett said   
   in a statement. Corbett ordered that all state flags in the   
   Capitol complex and at commonwealth facilities in Pike County   
   fly at half-staff to honor Dickson.   
      
   Investigators were interviewing a "person of interest" Saturday   
   morning, but no arrests had been made, spokeswoman Trooper   
   Connie Devens said.   
      
   Noonan stressed that police would be interviewing "hundreds" of   
   people.   
      
   Earlier, Noonan said police had no description of the shooter or   
   any information about the motive.   
      
   "This attack seems to be directed particularly at the   
   Pennsylvania State Police," Noonan said, but warned that   
   residents should be careful.   
      
   "Until we have this person in custody, obviously everyone should   
   be cautious and aware that there is a dangerous criminal on the   
   loose," he said.   
      
   Police from New York, New Jersey and throughout the Northeast   
   are assisting in the search, Noonan said.   
      
   Pennsylvania State Police said it was prepared to offer a reward   
   up to $20,000 for information that would help lead to the arrest   
   and conviction of an individual responsible for the shooting.
