Man opens fire on police during Minnesota city council meeting

The shooting happened right after two newly-sworn in officers left the chambers.

As a city council member began a discussion of a resolution, a man with a handgun began firing, said Hennepin County Chief Deputy Mike Carlson.

“To have it happen right across the street from our home, with police officers in parking lots with drawn guns, it’s scary, very scary,” resident Linda Townsend told CNN affiliate WCCO.
