Bundy brothers among 7 arrested, 1 dead near Malheur
Militia took over the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge on Jan. 2, 2016

BURNS, Ore. (KOIN) — One person is dead and 6 people arrested — including militia leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy — after the FBI and the Oregon State Police intercepted the group along Highway 395. Shots were fired after FBI agents, Oregon State Police and other authorities made the stop. It’s not clear who fired first, CBS News confirmed.

In a statement, the FBI said one person who was “a subject of a federal probable cause arrest” was killed. The FBI did not release that person’s name. Another unnamed person was injured and is expected to survive. Along with the Bundy brothers — Ammon, 40, from Emmett, Idaho and Ryan, 43, from Bunkerville, Nevada — the FBI and OSP took into custody:

Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada; Shawna Cox, 59, Kanab, Utah; and Ryan Waylen Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Montana in the traffic stop along Highway 395 late Tuesday afternoon. A sixth person, 45-year-old Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy of Cottonwood, Arizona, was arrested by the OSP in a separate incident in Burns, officials said.

Each person arrested faces a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede US officers from “discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 372.”

Later, right-wing online talk show host Pete Santilli, who has been embedded with the militia from the beginning of the occupation, was also arrested on the same charges. Santilli, 50, lives in Cincinnati.

1. Finally!

2. I heard that one of the Bundy brothers was shot

but it's not life threatening

3. I wonder if any of the ones arrested at the highway location

will be charged with felony murder since they were all being charged with felonies and one or more of them might have been shooting at the Feds/State Police at the time of Tarp Man's death. That would be true irony.
