A BLM officer at a California campground called for backup in a confrontation with Brent Douglas Cole. Both officers and Cole were wounded in a shoot out.
Cole was previously charged (State of California -vs- Brent Douglas Cole Case Number M-14-0000388) for carrying a loaded firearm on his person and having a concealed firearm in a vehicle (charges which he disputes). He has a pre-trial conference scheduled for June 30.
Cole was also a supporter of Operation Mutual Aid, a loose association of militia groups involved in the Cliven Bundy Ranch standoff.

Sure there is. Look at those two meth heads from Las Vegas they were clearly right wing. Are there currently any, or have there ever been any, left wing terrorists?

There probably have been a few, but they are in the tiny minority.
The problem is that somewhere along the line, the far-right became defined by: exclusion, hatred, and violence fetishes. Even if one wants to stick to the worn-out mantra that "liberals like big government and higher taxes," that still doesn't motivate a person to kill... while the far-right, Tea Party view is really one step away from violence at all times. Violence against "the government," "those people," and so on.
One can expect more such far right-wing violence in the future as it becomes painfully clear that they will not be able to warp our society into their bigoted vision via the ballot box. Next stop is always "killing the people who need killing" in their deranged world view.
It is really too bad that these people don't channel all that passion into something productive that will actually benefit the rest of us. Instead, all they're doing is creating an even bigger divide between those with differing opinions.
