5 Dead in Las Vegas Shooting

At the Las Vegas Sun, "Two officers, three others dead in shooting on Nellis Blvd."

Also at London's Daily Mail, "Two police officers killed in 'ambush' at Las Vegas Walmart by pair of gunmen who then killed themselves":

Sources told KSNV the gunmen ran into the the Cici's armed with rifles and bullet-proof vests at 11.27 a.m.

The pair then shot the officers - one in the head - and then took their firearms and ammunition before fleeing to a nearby Walmart while repeatedly shouting about a revolution beginning, police said.

One of the cops died at the scene as the other was rushed to a nearby hospital and was pronounced dead while in emergency surgery, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The two suspects shot then shot dead a a civilian who is believed to have been carrying a concealed firearm and had opened fire on them as they ran into the Walmart, Deputy Sheriff Kevin McMahill said during an afternoon press conference.

There were 'literally a thousand' witnesses to the terrifying events, Mc Mahill added.
