The shooting, in which at least two more people were injured, occurred last night just after 7 p.m. local time, in Ross Township, 137 kilometers north of Philadelphia, said the director of Monroe County Emergency Management, Guy Miller, adding that the attacker , who was arrested and taken to the hospital, was apparently "shooting randomly". USA: Three killed in a meeting Police in Lehigton confirmed that three people were killed and said that the gunman, identified as 59-year-old Rocknel Newel, was in dispute with local officials because a lawsuit was ahead of him in which he was indicted of bad maintenance of the property he owns which is in poor condition. He was, according to eyewitnesses, first shooting into the wall of the municipal building in Ross Township in the course of the meeting, and then got into the room and continued firing, killing three people before a councilor attacked him, took his gun and shot him by that same gun.
