There was another shooting over the weekend, this time, in Las Vagas. The shooting left two police officers dead, one customer at a Walmart dead and the two suspects dead.
According to reports, a couple brought their lovable, harmless guns to a restaurant in Las Vegas and used those guns to kill two police officers who were doing the unthinkable – having lunch.
After using the guns on the officers, the couple walked over to a Walmart store and killed a woman in the front of the store. The female shooter then pointed the gun at her male partner and pulled the trigger. She then turned the gun her way and took herself out.
Just another day in our gun loving civilized society.
What makes this story unique however, is the unfolding story that this couple and their harmless guns were part of the Cliven Bundy militias that swarmed the ranch a few months ago, prepared to put their women folk on the front lines in their expected shootout with the government.
The shootout didn’t happen, so apparently they’re starting one on their own.
Neighbors in an apartment complex where the two suspects lived said they “had a reputation for spouting racist, anti-government views” and boasted about their gun collection, according to the Las Vegas Sun. The newspaper reported that residents of the apartment complex who spoke about the suspects also brought up the couple’s relationship with Bundy Ranch, where the two bragged about being present for the standoff between militia members and the Bureau of Land Management.
One neighbor who lived next door to the couple told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the male suspect had said he was kicked off Bundy Ranch at some point during the militia’s protest against the BLM.
Carol Bundy, the Nevada rancher’s wife, told the newspaper she had no reason to suspect that militia members at the ranch harbored violent intentions.
“I have not seen or heard anything from the militia and others who have came to our ranch that would, in any way, make me think they had an intent to kill or harm anyone,” Bundy told the Review-Journal.
Another resident of the apartment complex, Brandon Moore, told the Las Vegas Sun that the couple had also spoken about their plans to commit a mass shooting.
“They were handing out white-power propaganda and were talking about doing the next Columbine,” he said.
