Metro Police officers are shown outside a Walmart after a shooting in Las Vegas June 8, 2014.
A horrific scene:
Two Las Vegas police officers and a civilian were reportedly killed Sunday in an apparent ambush attack at a pizza store that spilled over to a nearby Walmart store, where the two shooters killed themselves.
Details are sketchy and police have not yet confirmed the death of the officers, but sources within the Las Vegas Police Department say the officer and another were shot and killed by a man and a woman who approached them as they at lunch at the CiCi’s Pizza store at 309 N. Nellis Boulevard at about 11:20 a.m.
One officer was reportedly dead at the scene, while the other died later in surgery. Both were assigned to the Northeast Area Command.
Witnesses told police one yelled “This is the start of a revolution” before shooting the officers. The shooters then stripped the officers of their weapons and ammunition and went into the Walmart at 201 North Nellis.
More details as they are available.
