Shots fired, Bundy arrested

FBI press release:

The FBI and the Oregon State Police jointly reported five people were arrested and one unnamed person was killed in connection with an occupation at the Malheur National Wild Refuge. Here's the full news release:

At approximately 4:25 p.m. (PST) on Tuesday, January 26, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Oregon State Police (OSP) began an enforcement action to bring into custody a number of individuals associated with the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. During that arrest, there were shots fired.

One individual who was a subject of a federal probable cause arrest is deceased. We will not be releasing any information about that person pending identification by the medical examiner's office.

One individual suffered non-life threatening injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. He was arrested and is currently in custody.

The arrested individuals include:

Ammon Edward Bundy, age 40, of Emmett, Idaho
Ryan C. Bundy, age 43, of Bunkerville, Nevada
Brian Cavalier, age 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada
Shawna Cox, age 59, Kanab, Utah
Ryan Waylen Payne, age 32, of Anaconda, Montana
These probable cause arrests occurred along Highway 235.

In a separate event in Burns, Oregon, at approximately 5:50 pm, Oregon State Police arrested the following individual:

Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, age 45, Cottonwood, Arizona
All of the named defendants face a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372.

We continue to work with Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward and his deputies; Oregon State Police; and the United States Attorney's Office to address any further outstanding issues. As the investigation is ongoing, we cannot comment further at this time.

All defendants should be presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Where was their backup/over watch ?

AND WHY WERE THEY AMBUSHED ON THE WAY TO A MEETING?
 
I don't understand why they let it come to this. There was an offer of same passage from the sheriff. Nobody had to die.

Dosn't look like the sheriff provided them with safe passage to the meeting they were going to attend.

That was never the offer. A few weeks ago they were offered safe passage to the state line so they could go home.

The Sheriff rolled over for the Feds from the beginning. He abrogated his elected authority. They were in route to a peaceful meeting. The only reason this went down the way it did is because the Feds decided it would go down like this. It didn't have to.

Who knows, the FBI has bugs and sources everywhere. The sheriff couldve been a peace keeper that got bugged.

No. The Sheriff rolled over from day one and asked for Fed help. The whole town is staffed by government cronies. The state Gov. demanded that the Feds do something. And so we have this.
