NEW YORK (CNN) -- A gunman opened fire from a balcony in the City Council chamber at New York's City Hall Wednesday, shooting a man multiple times before being shot himself, witnesses told CNN.

Two people were carried out on stretchers.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was inside his office in the City Hall building when the shooting occurred, and is unharmed, said his press secretary, Edward Skyler.

The building was sealed, Skyler said.

Councilman Michael McMahon of Staten Island said he was in the City Council chamber waiting for a session to begin when someone in a balcony above shot someone four or five times. "That person went down into an aisle of the balcony," and the shooter shot him again a couple of times.

Then the shooter appeared to be shot, and he fell down, he said.

"All pandemonium broke out," he said.
