The official in Washington wasn't authorized to discuss the circumstances of Eric Frein's arrest and spoke to The Associated Press anonymously.
Authorities in Pennsylvania confirmed they had Frein in custody Thursday following a seven-week hunt for him.
Authorities have called Frein a survivalist who had a vendetta against law enforcement. They had been pursuing him in the woods and had reported several suspected sightings.
Frein is charged with opening fire outside the Blooming Grove barracks on Sept. 12. Cpl. Bryon Dickson was killed, and Trooper Alex Douglass was critically wounded in the attack.
Frein's parents have declined to comment.
