- Police 'found white supremacist paraphernalia including swastikas and a manifesto in the couple's apartment during a search'
- Neighbors described the pair as meth users obsessed with conspiracy theories and said they had talked about overthrowing Obama
- They often dressed up as the Joker or Slender Man - the fictional killer who was cited as the motive behind the stabbing of a girl, 12, last week
- The slain police officers have been identified as dad-of-three Alyn Beck, 41, and Igor Soldo, 31, who had a newborn baby
A white supremacist couple told neighbors 'we gotta do what we gotta do' before gunning down two Las Vegas police officers on Sunday then killing a woman and taking their own lives, it has emerged.
The married couple, identified by neighbors as 'Jared' and 'Amanda' and in their late 20s, had talked about overthrowing Obama and the government before their killing spree, and the husband even dressed up as the Batman villain the Joker or the fictional torturer, Slender Man, neighbors said.
On Sunday, the couple stormed a Cici's Pizza just before 11.30am Sunday and killed the officers as they ate pizza. The shooters then ransacked the dying cops' bodies for ammunition and weapons before covering them with the famous 'Don't Tread On Me' flag from the American Revolutionary war.
They then ran to a nearby Walmart, where they shot dead a female shopper before shooting themselves dead as part of a suicide pact, police said.
The two slain officers have been identified as Alyn Beck, a 41-year-old father-of-three who had worked at the department for 13 years, and 31-year-old Igor Soldo, who had been on the force since 2006 and had a newborn baby, authorities said.

Neighbors said the husband and wife openly obsessed over conspiracy theories and wanting to murder police officers in the weeks before Sunday's attack.
'They were going to kill as many officers as they can and then do away with themselves,' neighbor Krista Koch told ABC. 'They said they didn't believe in the government, the cops, the feds - anything - and they just wanted to get rid of as many as they can.'
