— -- Two police officers were shot by a gunman outside a city council meeting in New Hope, Minnesota, on Monday, where a male suspect was shot and killed, police said.

The officers are recovering from their injuries, police told ABC affiliate KSTP.

Video from the council meeting features audible popping sounds -– followed by a man yelling at meeting attendees, leaving the council members ducking behind their desk. One of the council members, John Elder, a police officer, is seen drawing his handgun.

“Get down! Get down! Everybody get down,” a man instructs the crowd.

“That went right through the door!” Someone else can be heard saying on the video. “Somebody got shot.”

Two officers were scheduled to be sworn in during the meeting, but it’s unclear whether they were the officers involved with the shooting.

There’s no word on what sparked the gunfire, and the suspect’s identity has not been released.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
