There's been another mass shooting in the United States.
This time, three people are dead after a gunman opened fire on a municipal council meeting in a small community in the east coast state of Pennsylvania.
Three others are also said to be in critical condition.
Over a dozen people were at the town council meeting when the shooting broke out.
The suspected shooter, 59-year old Rockne Newell, was arrested shortly after the rampage.
Pennsylvania state police officer Robert Bartal.
"He's had an on-going dispute with township officials something about the condemnation 1 of his property and issues relating to his sewer 2, I'm not really sure if he personally knew the individuals who had been killed tonight or not. I believe one of them is in official capacity with the township so, you would assume that he did know them but I don't know that to be a fact."
Newell was ordered by a local court last year to leave his home for violating zoning and sewer regulations.
He was reportedly unemployed 3 for years, living out of a car or in abandoned buildings.
