It was a bloody end straight from a Bonnie and Clyde flick for the married
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.
