Two police officers, civilian murdered in Las Vegas


(Vatican Radio) In the city of Las Vegas, Nevada, two police officers were having lunch Sunday when a man and a woman fatally shot them in an ambush, then fled to a nearby store where they killed a third person and then shot themselves in an apparent suicide pact.

Listen to our report:

One of the shooters reportedly yelled said the shooting was an act of “revolution,” but a motive remains under investigation.

“It’s a tragic day,” Sheriff Doug Gillespie said. “But we still have a community to police, and we still have a community to protect. We will be out there doing it with our heads held high, but with an emptiness in our hearts.”

In a statement, Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman called the killings a “cruel act” and praised the officers for dedicating “their lives to protecting all of us in our community.”
