Documents connected with the shooters who killed three people Sunday in Las Vegas before killing themselves detailed a larger plan to take over a courthouse and execute public officials, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

The newspaper reported Monday that a box containing those plans was confiscated from the apartment of a neighbor of Jerad and Amanda Miller, who were identified as the shooters by law enforcement on Monday.

Clark County assistant sheriff Kevin McMahill said during a Monday press conference that authorities believed the attack was “an isolated incident.”

As TPM reported, the apparent Facebook page of Jerad Miller was filled with extensive violent anti-government rhetoric.
