( CNN ) -- A community in tears . That 's how the mayor of Las Vegas described her city after a husband-and-wife team gunned down two police officers and a civilian . The officers were on their lunch break at a pizza place . They had no time to react . The third victim , a civilian , attempted to confront the couple at a nearby Walmart , and died in the process . A day after the killings , the three were being remembered Monday for their sacrifice and service . `` We 're a community in tears here . I will tell you these were wonderful officers , '' said Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman . Here 's a closer look at those killed : . Alyn Beck , 41 . Officer Beck , 41 , joined the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department ( LVMPD ) in August 2001 . His friends say he was a good person , always willing to lend a hand . `` He was always about service . He was the funnest guy . He was , you know , you think of some people who are good in eulogy only , and Alyn is the absolute opposite of that . `` Alyn is easy to eulogize because that 's all he was , was good , '' said Tracy Smith , a friend . Beck is survived by his wife and three children . Igor Soldo , 31 . Officer Soldo joined the police department in April 2006 . He attended high school in Lincoln , Nebraska , and worked as a corrections officer before joining the force . Described by family as a good father and a great man , Soldo is survived by his wife and baby . He and Beck were on their lunch break at a CiCi 's Pizza when authorities say Jerad and Amanda Miller came into the restaurant and opened fire on the officers at close range . `` I think you can all imagine if this happened to one of your loved ones what just that impact might be . They 're trying to process what is it that has taken place , '' Sheriff Doug Gillespie said about the victims ' families . `` They have good support but it 's going to be a difficult road -- two young families and their fathers are no longer there . '' Joseph Wilcox , 31 . After the Millers shot the officers , they fled to a Walmart where Jerad Miller allegedly fired one round and told everyone to get out . Wilcox , who was in the store and who was carrying a concealed weapon , moved to confront the shooter . But he did n't realize Jerad Miller was not alone . Authorities say Amanda Miller shot Wilcox , killing him . `` Joseph died attempting to protect others . His death is completely senseless , '' Sheriff Gillespie told reporters . Wilcox 's sister , CJ Foster , said her brother was pro-gun and believed guns do n't kill people -- people kill people . `` He did a very brave thing and I 'm very proud of him . I 'm proud to call him my brother , '' she said . Jeremy Tanner , a friend , was with Wilcox at the Walmart before the shooting started . `` Joseph had the option to go left and exit the store to safety , but he instead went into the store and chased after the gunman , '' he told CNN . `` I wanted to tell him : 'Do n't do this . Come with me . ' But I also felt that he 's possibly going to be saving some lives . '' CNN 's Stephanie Elam contributed to this report .
