BREAKING: Suspects in Vegas Walmart shooting wanted ‘revolution’, commit suicide after killing

police.


KSNV is reporting a shooting at a Las Vegas Walmart, with 3 unconfirmed deaths.

UPDATE (5:40PM) Five people are dead, including two Metro police officers, in a shootout that concluded at Las Vegas Walmart.

According to reports, the two suspects — a man and a woman — killed the two police officers as they were eating lunch at a Cici’s Pizza. Witnesses told police that one of the shooters yelled, “This is the start of a revolution” before shooting the officers. The suspects then took the police officer’s weapons and extra ammunition and went to a Walmart across the street where they shot and killed a customer before barricading themselves in a corner of the store.


The suspects reportedly told customers they wanted to have a shootout with the police.

After the store was surrounded by SWAT officers, the suspects took their own lives as part of an apparent suicide pact.

Seems it's every other week now.

Maybe we should stop trying to 'create democracies' all over the world, and failing miserably at it btw, and start spending that money right here to try to figure out what has gone so terribly wrong with THIS country.

If it was one in ten years, it would still be shocking, but the frequency of these killings is simply unbelievable. No one is safe anywhere, even in kindergarten. And it's NOT Foreign Terrorists, it's our own fellow citizens who seem to have so much hatred for their fellow human beings.

This has become a National Security issue and not much is being done about it.

Sounds just like Davy Crockett's final moments.

Revolutionaries, no. Chickenshit wannabe, that's more like it.
