"LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. (AP) - A man being questioned by police at a suburban Atlanta hotel on Sunday shot the two officers after inviting them into his room, killing one of them and seriously wounding the other, authorities said. The shooting suspect also was shot by one of the officers and was undergoing medical treatment and expected to survive, Gwinnett County Police Chief J.D. McClure said during a news conference."
"He said the suspect greeted the officers at the door to his room and invited them inside. "They began discussing the scenario or the incident with him," McClure said. "And at some point the suspect produced a handgun and, in an unprovoked attack, fired at our Gwinnett County police officers." Officer Pradeep Tamang, 25, died from his injuries at a hospital, McClure said. A native of Nepal, Tamang had joined the police department last year."
