I find it interesting that the AP says that at least a dozen shots were fired, and that the gun he used may have been a revolver. Are there any 12 shot revolvers? Because I can't really see anyone giving him time to reload and empty the gun again.

Edit: The AP has updated their story and it all makes sense now. The second victim is actually the assailant who was shot by a plainclothes police officer who was also at the council meeting. The assailant was a political opponent of the councilman and his ties to the councilman had allowed him to bypass security.
