It was a bloody end straight from a Bonnie and Clyde flick for the married Las Vegas killers — who spent their last moments wildly waving their weapons inside a Walmart as a bullet ripped into the husband, and the wife chose to kill herself.
A surveillance video shows anti-government hate mongers Jerad and Amanda Miller trying desperately to hold off cops at the climax of their murderous rampage Sunday, which had already taken the lives of two officers and a civilian.
The 22-year-old Amanda can be seen briefly pointing her gun at her 31-year-old hubby as he lies prone and appears to aim his weapon down the store’s aisle, according to the brief clip.
The video cuts off as Amanda turns her gun toward herself. The voice of a Vegas SWAT team member, who is watching the scene unfold live, can be heard saying “The female just shot herself in the head” over the darkened screen.
In the chaos of the standoff, it appears at one point Amanda is firing on her husband. A cop can even be heard on the tape saying, “It looks like they’re shooting at each other.” But at a press conference Wednesday, officials said that the wife never pulled the trigger.
“We made a determination that she did not shoot him. He did suffer a gunshot wound, and we believe the entrance wound was here,” Clark County Asst. Sheriff Kevin McMahill said, pointing to his collarbone.
“We do not believe any of her shots hit him,” he said. “This is a dramatic difference from what was discussed in a previous news conference.
“The male was shot, in fact, by police fire just prior to this incident” on the video, he said.
The two self-styled revolutionaries — who palled around with the like of renegade rancher Cliven Bundy — had gone on a murderous rampage Sunday.
They fatally shot officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck at a pizzeria. They then killed bystander Joseph Wilcox, who tried to confront the couple with his own, legal gun as they opened fire in the Walmart.
McMahill also said that an officer involved in the firefight was wounded in the thigh —possibly by shrapnel.
It was also revealed that police had contact with Jerad Miller three times since he and his wife moved to Nevada in January. But they said there was no indication of anti-government hate and that the contact raised no red flags.
In February, they had asked him about threatening remarks he had made about the Indiana Department of Motor Vehicles, which he denied. The second contact came April 10, when police went to the couple’s apartment while investigating a domestic dispute that did not involve them.
And on May 31, cops responded to a call of an alleged sexual assault involving a neighbor, not the Millers, McMahill said.
