The Las Vegas shooters left a manifesto.

LAS VEGAS (CNN) — Police scouring the scenes where a couple shouting "revolution" gunned down two police officers and a civilian before killing themselves have found a possible "manifesto" among their belongings, a law enforcement official told CNN on Monday.

The official didn't disclose what's in the writings found at one of the scenes, and authorities have yet to publicly discuss a motive for Sunday's shootings at a Las Vegas pizza restaurant and outside a Walmart store.

But a police source told CNN on Sunday that the couple held extremist views toward law enforcement.

In addition to the writings, investigators also found flags or insignias with markings on them and two backpacks at the scene. It's not known what, if anything, was found in the backpacks, the source said.

The killers get far less airtime. I mean, who talks about Elliot Rodger anymore? These yahoos wont' last a day or two in the news cycle. They should just self-publish their manifestos and stay home.

Rightwing propaganda created those extremists, but who pays the price?
