JUNIATA TOWNSHIP, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania State Police continue their search for the suspect in the fatal shooting of a state trooper. 
 
 The officer, Landon Weaver, was shot Friday night while responding to a report of a protection-from-abuse violation at a home in central Pennsylvania. A remote Huntingdon County area has been closed off in the search. 
 
 Gov. Tom Wolf says in a statement Saturday that he is confident the suspect will be captured and "brought to justice." 
 
 Weaver enlisted in the Pennsylvania State Police in December 2015 and was assigned to the Patrol Unit in Troop G in Huntingdon. He's the 97th member of the Pennsylvania State Police to be killed in the line of duty. 
 
 The governor said he will be remembered for his bravery and willingness to serve. ||||| Timothy Piazza's parents attend preliminary court hearings

 The suspect in the death of a Pennsylvania state trooper was shot and killed Saturday morning in a confrontation with police. 
 
 Jason Robison, 32, of Hesston, Pa., was killed after refusing orders and making threats to officers during an encounter at an unoccupied mobile home not far from the site in Juniata Township, Pa., about 100 miles east of Pittsburgh and 150 miles west of Philadelphia where Trooper Landon Weaver, 23, was fatally shot Friday night after responding to a reported violation of a protection-from-abuse order. 
 
 Robison's death was confirmed at about 10:30 a.m. ET, said Cpl. Adam Reed, a Pennsylvania State Police spokesman. The search for him had focused in the area around the initial call for help and nearby Raystown Lake. 
 
 He had been arrested more than a dozen times in Huntingdon County, which has about 45,000 residents, on charges that included making threats, assault, theft and driving on a revoked license. Robison last appeared in court Dec. 16 when he was released on theft and driving charges after posting $10,000 bail. 
 
 Weaver, originally from about 20 miles away in East Freedom, Pa., enlisted in the Pennsylvania State Police in December 2015, graduated from the police academy in June and was assigned to a patrol unit with Troop G in Huntingdon, Pa. 
 
 Survivors include his wife, the former Macy Gottshall. She was his high school sweetheart, and they married him in June, The (Harrisburg, Pa.) Patriot-News reported.

 He is the 97th member of the Pennsylvania State Police to be killed in the line of duty but the only one this year. He is the 139th officer nationwide to die in the line of duty in 2016, the 63rd from gunfire, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. 
 
 Pennsylvania State Police released a photo late Friday of the person wanted in connection with Weaver's death. In identifying Robison, authorities said he should be considered armed and dangerous. 
 
 “It is believed that his hair is currently dyed purple,” the agency's Facebook post added. 
 
 After the manhunt, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf thanked police for its "swift resolution." 
 
 "I thank the troopers and their counterparts who worked through the night and put their lives on the line," he wrote in a news release Saturday. 
 
 Wolf also extended condolences to Weaver's family, saying Weaver will be remembered for “his bravery, his sacrifice, and his willingness to serve.” 
 
 "Trooper Weaver’s life and service to our commonwealth ended far too soon. May we never forget his sacrifice," the governor said. "Frances and I ask all Pennsylvanians to join us in keeping his wife, family, and fellow troopers in our thoughts and prayers as they confront this horrific tragedy."

– A Pennsylvania state trooper was shot and killed in the line of duty Friday—just six months after graduating from the state police academy, PennLive reports. And his alleged killer is dead following a manhunt. According to the Centre Daily Times, Trooper Landon Weaver, 23, was responding to a reported violation of a protection order—police describe it as a "domestic-related incident"—when he was shot and killed. "Landon will always be remembered for his bravery, his sacrifice, and his willingness to serve," the York Daily Record quotes Gov. Tom Wolf as saying. Weaver graduated from the state police academy in June; the same month he married his high-school sweetheart. Police were searching for 32-year-old Jason Robison in connection with Weaver's death. The shooting apparently happened at the residence of Robison's mother, and Robison had a history of a dozen or so arrests on charges ranging from assault to arson. "The only good cop is a dead cop," Robison posted on Facebook earlier this month, along with photos of an injured police officer and crashed police cruiser. According to USA Today, police shot and killed Robison Saturday morning after he allegedly threatened officers at a mobile home. Weaver is the 97th member of the Pennsylvania State Police to be killed in the line of duty, the AP reports.
