Five reported dead in North Las Vegas police ambush | Las Vegas Review-Journal

Two police officers are dead after being shot by a man and a woman who approached them as they ate lunch at a CiCi’s Pizza.

Witnesses told police one yelled “This is the start of a revolution” before shooting the officers. The shooters then stripped the officers of their weapons and ammunition and went into the Walmart at 201 North Nellis.

Witnesses at the scene reported hearing shots fired in quick succession inside the WalMart.

One unconfirmed report is that the two exchanged gunfire with a citizen who was carrying a concealed weapon. The man and woman then ordered everyone to leave and killed themselves in “some kind of suicide pact”

something to be said for concealed weapons. i think wearing a uniform in america is getting to be a lot like being in the mideast.
most disturbing that they could strip the police of their weapons and leave and no one did anything.
what about this massive police state they all talk about. how much do we pay these guys for endless protection? they were all out eating donuts?

How can you equate the insanity of a few nut jobs to our country?

The same thing just took place a few days ago in New Brunswick, Canada. The worst mass murder in Calgary history was done with a knife. The worst massacre by a single man (Breivik) happened in Norway. During the trial a man set himself on fire. The worst serial killer in history was in Russia.

Insanity is not in short supply, and I'd say there are more violent loons, per capita, in repressive countries than there are here.

Even though the good guys (police) had guns, it didn't protect them from the bad guys with guns.

The people in CiCi’s Pizza. were unarmed, what do you expect us to use man harsh language?

Plus it was a Gun Free Zone, I know because I eat there at that CiCi’s Pizza., and as there last week....I love less then a block away from that Wal Mart..

You don't get much international news I'm guessing.
