Las Vegas shooters Jerad and Amanda Miller

Las Vegas, Nevada

It’s becoming a tough job lately, keeping up with all of the mass shooting incidents happening around the country. The latest, this past weekend, occurred in Las Vegas.

Jerad and Amanda Miller killed three people, including two police officers and another victim who tried to help. The officers killed have been identified as Alyn Beck and and Igor Soldo, along with another victim, Robert Wilcox.

Beck, 41, was a married father of three who had been with the department since 2001. Soldo, 31, had been with the department since 2006. He is survived by a wife and baby, police said. Wilcox was a resident of Las Vegas.

The shooting took place late Sunday morning, while the officers were having lunch at CiCi’s Pizza restaurant.

Authorities say that Jerad Miller pulled a handgun out and shot officer Soldo one time in the back of the head. Officer Beck immediately began to react, but was shot once in the throat area. Amanda Miller then removed a handgun from her purse and both Jerad and Amanda fired multiple shots into officer Beck.

After shooting the officers, police say the suspects pulled the men out of the booth and laid them on the floor. They then placed a flag – a yellow banner with a coiled snake above the words, "Don't tread on Me" – on top of Beck, along with a swastika. On Soldo, the two placed a note, police said, that read, "This is the start of the revolution."

After the shooting, police say the couple took the officers' handguns and ammunition and fled across the street to a nearby Walmart. There, police say, Jerad Miller fired off one round and told everyone to get out of the store. At some point he allegedly yelled, "This is a revolution."

Inside the Walmart, 31-year-old Robert Wilcox approached Jerad Miller, not noticing Amanda Miller. During the confrontation, Amanda Miller shot Wilcox in the rib area.

A shootout with pursuing officers ensued, during which Amanda Miller took her handgun and fired several rounds into Her next move, was to take her handgun and end her own life with one gunshot to the head.

The Lafayette Journal & Courier reports Jerad Miller's criminal record dates back to 2007 and includes arrests for drugs, criminal recklessness, misdemeanor battery and violating jail records.

The Las Vegas Sun on Monday interviewed residents at the Las Vegas apartment complex where Jerad and Amanda Miller reportedly lived together. According to the couple's neighbors, they were street performers and had a reputation for spouting racist and anti-government views.
