<p>WEST CHESTER, Pa. (AP) &#8212; Jury selection is finished in the trial of a man accused of fatally shooting a state trooper and wounding another in an ambush outside their rural Pennsylvania barracks.</p><p>Prosecutors and defense attorneys picked the last two alternate jurors on Tuesday.</p><p>The jury will weigh murder charges against 33-year-old Eric Frein. He&#8217;s charged with killing Cpl. Bryon Dickson II and critically wounding Trooper Alex Douglass in a late-night attack outside the Blooming Grove barracks in northeastern Pennsylvania in 2014. Frein led authorities on a 48-day manhunt in the Pocono Mountains before his capture by U.S. Marshals.</p><p>He could face a death sentence if he&#8217;s convicted.</p><p>Because of heavy pretrial publicity, jury selection took place in the Philadelphia suburbs. The trial now switches to Pike County for opening statements.</p><style>
