Remembering an Armed Citizen Who Tried to Intervene and Officers Beck and Soldo

​Today marks the sixth anniversary of the assassination of Officers Alyn Beck and Igor Soldo by two crazy would-be revolutionaries (who were also classic losers). The officers were eating lunch at a pizza restaurant when they were shot.

Concealed carrier Joseph Wilcox attempted to intervene when the two murderers entered a Walmart. Unfortunately, as Wilcox was engaging the male half of the killers, he was unaware that the wife was covering her husband from a distance. Before Wilcox, who ran towards danger, could engage the male murderer, the wife shot and killed him. 

The wife later committed suicide during the barricade situation. SWAT killed the husband. The two losers were motivated by anti-government/police feelings and came to Nevada to participate in the Bundy standoff.
