It was like a scene from a horror movie.
Jerad Miller, 31, and his wife Amanda Miller, 22, walked into a Cici’s restaurant in Las Vegas and unleashed a swarm of bullets that left two police officers dead.
But they didn’t stop there. Just mere minutes after the horrific incident; they fatally shot another man in a nearby Walmart before police officers cornered them. Knowing they were no longer invincible, Amanda shot and killed her husband before killing herself.
It appears that the act of violence was directly connected to the white supremacist agenda as they had draped the officer’s bodies with swastika propaganda and a flag that read “don’t tread on me” where clearly law enforcement was the nemesis. Along with the flag and swastika, another note was pinned on the body that stated that the attack was the beginning of a revolution.
Residents that live in the Oak Tree Apartments where the couple resided stated that the Millers had bragged of plans to commit a mass shooting. They wanted to start a revolution that would become the next Columbine. Yet, none of these incidents were reported to law enforcement.
But the real tragedy lies in the fact that this couple unleashed a horde of fury that left 3 innocent people dead. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Igor Soldo, Officer Alyn Beck and Joseph Wilcox.
