A picture is starting to form about the two shooting suspects who are accused of killing two police officers and a female civilian before turning the guns on themselves in Las Vegas over the weekend: They were a husband-wife team, reported white supremacists and reputed methamphetamine users who were obsessed with conspiracy theories, investigators say.
The duo also boasted of having spent time at Cliven Bundy’s Nevada ranch during a recent standoff between armed militia and federal agents over a grazing-rights issue embroiling the West, the Las Vegas Sun reported.
And the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the attackers, after ambushing the two lunch-eating officers, draped the ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ Gadsden flag over their lifeless bodies. The Revolutionary War-era flag has become a symbol of the modern tea party movement.
