The indictment further alleges that the two defendants also went to two pawn shops and to Walmart where they purchased additional ammunition, rope, and ski masks to help them in their robberies and killing spree.

As further noted in the indictment, the two defendants, on separate occasions made threats to kill Barack Obama, a major candidate for the Office of the President of the United States.
