LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - Two armed suspects opened fire and wounded two Las Vegas police officers who were eating lunch in a pizza parlor on Sunday, then shot and killed a civilian inside a nearby Wal-Mart store before killing themselves, police said.
The two suspects, whose gender, age or identity were not immediately provided by authorities, shouted, "This is a revolution" as they ambushed the uniformed patrol officers, then took the policemen's' weapons and ran across the street to the Wal-Mart, city police spokeswoman Laura Meltzer told Reuters.
As they entered the Wal-Mart, the suspects shot to death a person near the entrance, then continued further into the store and "engaged in what is being described as a suicide pact," Meltzer said.
The two officers shot in the ambush were taken to hospital, but Meltzer said she had no information on their condition.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal newspaper said the two assailants were a man and a woman.
