In yet another ghastly incident of shootout in the US, a gunman went on a rampage, shooting through the walls of a municipal building in Pennsylvania first, and then muscling into the meeting room firing, killing three people and injuring several in the process, before he was stopped by a local official.

The shooting rampage took place before 7:30 pm. during Ross Township's monthly meeting, Guy Miller, Monroe County emergency management director said.

“The gunman, who appeared to be 'shooting randomly', was captured and was in state police custody at a hospital, which was placed on lockdown,” he said. Not much details is known about the shooter yet.

An eye witness said, "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. I was the only person who crawled out. Everyone got behind a table. Some of the supervisors were over on the side throwing up."
