Law enforcement officials in Las Vegas have named a married couple, Jared Miller and Amanda Woodruff Miller, as the two people behind Sunday’s shooting spree in a Las Vegas shopping center.

A spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Department described the two as being motivated by the idea that “law enforcement is the oppressor” and social media postings by the two reinforced earlier reporting that the assailants held deeply anti-government views.

A post on Jared Miller’s Facebook page on Saturday, June 7, carried this ominous message: “The dawn of a new day. May all of our coming sacrifices be worth it.”

Most of his previous postings were based around anti-government themes including numerous references to guns laws and the recent standoff at the ranch of Cliven Bundy and the Bureau of Land Management. Several times on his Facebook page, Miller talks about being at the Bundy ranch.

In what appeared to be a personal diatribe, Miller posted this message on his Facebook page on June 2:

Amanda Miller’s Facebook page was less overtly political and conspiratorial, but contained numerous photos of the couple together, including the picture at right which shows the pair dressed as comic book villians.

At Mother Jones, Dana Liebelson explores comments posted by Miller on Infowars, the conspiracy-laden website maintained of Alex Jones, as a way to offer insight into the gunman’s specific attitude towards police officers and “the deeply personal roots of his hatred of government.”

And according to CNN:

The perpetrators in Las Vegas who shot and killed three people on Sunday—including two police officers gunned down while eating lunch in a pizzeria—were reportedly members of the white supremacy movement who espoused rabid anti-government and racist views.
