An ambush that began in a Las Vegas pizzeria and continued at a Walmart on Sunday has left five people dead, authorities say, including two police officers and two suspects.
The slain policemen, identified as Officer Alyn Beck, 42, and Officer Igor Soldo, 32, were eating at a Cici's Pizza when a man and a woman shot them. Witnesses told police that one of the shooters announced, "This is the start of a revolution," NBC News reports. The suspects then stripped the officers of their weapons and ammunition and went to a Walmart across the street, where they shot and killed a civilian.
