At least three people have been killed in a shooting involving Las Vegas police officers, authorities say.
Las Vegas police spokesman Larry Hadfield told The Associated Press that the spree began around 11:30 a.m. Sunday when a man and woman walked into CiCi's Pizza restaurant on North Nellis Boulevard and shot two officers who were eating lunch.
The suspects took the officers' weapons and ammunition before storming out of the pizzeria, Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill told KVVU Fox 5.
Investigators say the two suspects fled to the Walmart across the street, where they shot a person inside and then killed themselves. Police and a SWAT team were dispatched to the scene, KVVU Fox 5 reports.
Hadfield said one of the suspects yelled, "This is a revolution," but the motive for the shooting remains under investigation.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department posted on its Twitter page that it was investigating the shooting and people have been injured. Authorities urged residents to avoid the area.
Hadfield says the condition of the two officers wasn't immediately known.
