Gunman with 18-year grudge suspected after 3 killed at town council meeting
(CNN) -- Ross Township in rural Pennsylvania is the kind of place that, in the words of one county official, is "never in the newspaper."
Monday night changed that. Police said a resident with a grudge rained hell at a town council meeting.
By the time he was subdued, Rockne Newell had fatally shot three people and wounded several others, police said.
Newell had a years-long feud over property rights with the township's board of supervisors, the elected body that sets policies and laws for the community of 5,400.
Last year, a court ordered him to leave the property in Monroe County and later put it up for sale, the Pocono Record newspaper reported.
