A volley of gunfire erupted outside the New Hope City Council meeting Monday night when a man shot at a group of police officers, injuring two of them. 
 
 Officers returned fire, killing the man. 
 
 The two injured officers were in good condition in the hospital, said Hennepin County Chief Deputy Mike Carlson. They are expected to survive. 
 
 The bizarre and shocking event began shortly after two new officers, Joshua Eernisse and Adam Johnson, were sworn in during the City Council meeting that began about 7 p.m. The officers along with others who attended the ceremony walked out of the chambers about 7:15 p.m. A man with a “long gun” shot at the officers, Carlson said. 
 
 “Two officers were struck. Other officers were able to return fire, subsequently killing the suspect,” Carlson told reporters in a briefing shortly before 10 p.m. in the parking lot of a nearby shopping center. 
 
 Inside the chambers, a video of the ongoing City Council recorded the sound of a gunshot, followed by five or six additional shots. 
 
 A council member is heard swearing, then someone yells, “Get down, get down, everybody get down.” Someone else shouts, “That went right through the door!” and “Somebody got shot!” 
 
 New Hope City Council Member John Elder, a former police officer and currently a public information officer for the Minneapolis Police Department, appears in the video, behind the council desk with his gun drawn and pointed toward the door to the chambers. The audio on the video then goes silent. 
 
 Elder and others were eventually escorted to safety nearby. 
 
 Carlson said authorities are not looking for any other suspects. The gunman’s identity will be released by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. 
 
 Police said they could offer no other details Monday night.

– Two police officers in suburban Minneapolis came under fire within moments of being sworn in last night. Police say that immediately after the ceremony at a council meeting at New Hope City Hall, a man with a "long gun" opened fire on the newly sworn-in officers and others who were at the meeting as they left the council chambers, reports the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Officers immediately returned fire, killing the suspect, whose name has not been released. Two police officers were injured. Video from the meeting shows some council members diving for cover as shots rang out while councilman John Elder—who is also a public information officer for the Minneapolis Police Department—pulls out his handgun and takes aim at the door, yelling for others to get down, reports the New York Daily News. "That went right through the door," another council member says. "Somebody got shot." Police say both injured officers are in good condition and are expected to survive.
