Two Las Vegas police officers and a civilian are dead after two shooters ambushed the cops at a pizza restaurant on Sunday afternoon and then got into a gunfight at a nearbyWalmart.
The two shooters, a man and woman, walked up to two officers with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on their lunch break at CiCi's Pizza, located at 309 North Nellis, and gunned them down.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports one of the shooters shouted, 'This is the start of a revolution,' before killing one of the officers execution style.
The other officer died at a local hospital while in surgery, the Review-Journal wrote. It's not known how they were shot.
The killers stripped the officers' bodies of their weapons and then walked over to a nearby Walmart to continue their rampage and yelled at everyone to get out of the store.

However, they shot and killed another victim that reportedly pulled out a concealed weapon and exchanged fire, the newspaper reported.
The pair then retreated to the back of the store and killed themselves in an apparent suicide pact, said Clark County DeputySheriff Kevin McMahill at a press conference.
Both of the perps had been carrying large bags, but it's not known at this time what was in the bags. A bomb squad was called to the scene to investigate its contents, the Review-Journal reported.
