State police were flying near the border throughout the night and into this morning, Sgt. Mark Daniels said. The helicopter stopped this morning to refuel, but Daniels expects the flyover to continue.
No state police cars were dispatched to Pennsylvania, Daniels said.
"We don't have a bunch of troopers in Pennsylvania," Daniels said, adding that troopers are focused near the state line.
At this time, there is no imminent threat that the gunman is en route to New York, Daniels said.
The Associated Press is reporting that police are questioning 48-year-old Jeffrey Hudak as a "person of interest" in the shooting.
