The shooter, who had an ongoing dispute with the town, was tackled by a local official and shot with his own gun after he went on the rampage around 7:30 pm in Monroe County, Penn.

The gunman, who appeared to be shooting randomly, was being treated at a hospital last night and was in police custody.

The Pocono Record reported that authorities later descended on the property of Rockne Newell, a local hoarder who has been cited for numerous violations.

After battling with the township for almost 20 years, Newell was ordered to vacate his property last August, the paper said.

Among the complaints were the massive amounts of junk that Newell kept on his property, including buckets of human waste.

Looks like a hippie.

He 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. The township determined he was improperly disposing of sewage with no septic system or permit for one.

In a previous article, Newell said he couldn't afford septic hookup fees.

"If I lose this property, I have nowhere else to go," Newell told the Pocono Record in June. "What they're doing to me, what they've been doing to me for so long, it's wrong."

Hoarder? sounds like he’s a paranoid schizophrenic.

He should have just brought the buckets.
