At Least 3 Killed in Shooting at Pennsylvania Municipal Building

Photo Credit: APAt least three people were killed when a gunman opened fire at a Pennsylvania municipal building during a meeting, before he was tackled by a local official and shot with his own gun, a witness said.

The shooting, which also injured some people, happened shortly before 7:30 p.m. during Ross Township’s monthly meeting, Monroe County emergency management director Guy Miller said.

The gunman, who Miller said appeared to be “shooting randomly,” was conscious and taken out on a stretcher following the shooting, witnesses told the Pocono Record.

Miller said the gunman was captured and was treated at a hospital, which was placed on lockdown. The shooter later was released into police custody, said the hospital, which was treating two shooting victims.

State police in Lehighton confirmed the gunman had been captured but didn’t immediately have details on the arrest.
