The gunman who opened fire at a local Pennsylvania Municipal Town Hall was a disgruntled Democrat supporter of President Obama.

Perhaps it’s just me, but given the modern media manipulation of anti-gun narratives, I find myself breathing a sigh of relief when it comes to light the mad gunman is another supporter of Obama.    Had this been a “conservative-minded” unstable person it would be leading the national headlines 24/7.    Sad, because the first thought I want to have is  sorrow for the victims’ families;  Instead I find myself hoping not to see freedom diminish as the first thought.   I don’t like that….
(PENNSYLVANIA)  State police at Lehighton are seeking a search warrant from a district judge to search the property of Rockne Newell in the wake of the deadly shooting in Ross Township. According to Trooper First Class Michael Sniscak, troopers are expected at the scene within the hour.
Newell is a self-proclaimed junk collector who had come under fire from township officials for keeping a junkyard on his property.
According to previous reports, Newell got a building permit from the township to have a storage structure on the property, but then built a dwelling without first getting a zoning permit or certificate of occupancy from the township.
Over the years, authorities have responded to Newell’s property as a result of neighbor complaints and on one occasion in 2009 found human fecal matter in buckets there, according to previous reports in the Pocono Record.  (read more)
MunicipalBuildingShooting
VIA FOX NEWS […]  The Pocono Record reported that two people died at the scene and that a third  victim died after being transported by helicopter to an area hospital.
[…] The Pocono Record said one of its reporters was in the township building and  a gunman armed with a pistol with a scope shot through a wall into the meeting,  in a rural area of northeastern Pennsylvania about 85 miles north of  Philadelphia.
The reporter, Chris Reber, told the newspaper that all he saw was holes go  through the wall, with smoke and plaster blowing out. He said he heard automatic  gunfire.
“I ran out after the first round of shooting. I dropped to the floor. That’s  what everyone did. … Then it stopped and I crawled out the side door,” Reber  told the newspaper, which posted his account online. “I was the only person who  crawled out. Everyone got behind a table. Some of the supervisors were over on  the side throwing up.”
Reber said a woman opened a door to the meeting room “and he (the shooter)  was standing there. A man pushed her aside and was shot. People were shot inside  the room.”
The shooter returned to his car and came back inside with another weapon when  a local official at the meeting grabbed him, Reber said.
“(West End Open Space Commission executive director) Bernie Kozen was there  tending to the man and he (the shooter) didn’t see them,” Reber said. “Bernie  bearhugged him and took him down. He shot (the shooter) with his own gun.”
Rep. Matt Cartwright, who represents the state’s 17th District, said he was  “stunned and appalled at the atrocities that claimed the lives of innocent  citizens in Ross Township.” He said he had heard about what Kozen did to prevent  more bloodshed.
“Mr. Kozen is a true hero tonight,” Cartwright said in an emailed  statement.  (MORE)
