Two police officers and a civilian were shot to death in Las Vegas on Sunday during a rampage that began in a CiCi’s Pizza restaurant. Police said the officers killed were Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31. The attackers — a man and a woman believed to be a couple — walked into the CiCi’s and opened fire around 11:30 a.m., local time, as Beck and Soldo were eating lunch, according to police. “They were ambushed,” Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said at a news conference Sunday. Witnesses told police that before shooting at the police officers, the man yelled: “This is the start of a revolution.” The shooters then reportedly took the officer’s weapons and ammunition and headed into the Walmart. Once inside the store, the male shooter yelled, “Everyone get out!,” and then started shooting, Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill said in a news conference. Police said one person, who has not been identified, was shot and killed in the Walmart. The two shooters then went to the back of the store, where they reportedly killed themselves. “There was some sort of suicide pact,” McMahill said. According to a report in the Las Vegas Review Journal, police are looking into the couple’s links to the white supremacy movement and found swastika symbols during their initial investigation.
