Officials: Gunman Opens Fire During Municipal Meeting, Leaves At Least 2 Dead [Ross Township]

60. Those Pocono Record photos don't show the full picture of this property.

It's about a mile from my house and I drive Flyte Road at least once a week.
To call it a dump is to be very, very kind. It would not surprise me to find out that there were serious health and environmental issues on that land. It's really, really bad. I feel sorry for the houses nearby.

Here's a passage from today's Pocono Record:

"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."

The "dwelling", by the way, looked like it was built with scrap pieces of pressed board. It was rotting and falling down.
