The pair who fatally shot two Las Vegas police officers and one
civilian before taking their own lives Sunday have some apparent
ideology that is along the lines of militia and white supremacists,
according to authorities.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Assistant Sheriff Kevin McMahill said at
a press conference Monday that one of the suspects, 31-year-old Jerad
Miller, left a swastika and a Gadsden flag -- which features a coiled
snake with the words "Don't Tread on Me -- on top of the body of
Officer Alyn Beck, 41.
Jerad Miller also laid a note on the body of officer Igor Soldo, 31,
that said this is the beginning of the revolution, McMahill said.
Both officers were gunned down inside Cicis Pizza Sunday during their
lunch break.
Authorities say Miller and his wife, Amanda, 22, acted alone in the
shootings and they are not seeking additional suspects. McMahill added
that officers are still looking for a motive and the couple believed
that law enforcement was the "oppressor."
The couple had visited Cliven Bundy's ranch during an armed standoff
earlier this year with federal authorities about a land dispute,
Bundy's son said Monday. Ammon Bundy told The Associated Press that
they were asked to leave his father's ranch after being there for a
few days this spring.
He said that while details were still sketchy, the Millers' conduct
was the problem. He called the couple "very radical" and said they did
not "align themselves" with the protest's main issues.
