| One individual was shot to death and one was wounded in a felony arrest traffic stop in Harney County in Oregon Tuesday evening, according to various official and unofficial reports. The dead has been identified as LaVoy Finicum, 55, of Cane Beds, Arizona, according to a Bundy Ranch Facebook posting, said to have been shot three times. According to data said to have been attributed to Nevada Assemblywoman Michele Fiore, Finicum was shot in cold blood. Other unconfirmed reports say it was an unidentified state police agent who shot Finicum. Among the arrested identified by the FBI were: 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 and Ryan Waylen Payne, age 32, of Anaconda, Montana. Oregon state police said they arrested another individual identified as Joseph Donald O'Shaughnessy, age 45, Cottonwood, Arizona. A blog report said that an internet radio talk personality identified as Pete Santelli, Cincinnati, Ohio, was detained at one of the checkpoints set up directly after the traffic stop. Another man in Arizona was arrested in conjunction with the incident on Oregon, who was identified as Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32, and who will likely be charged with conspiracy as well. The traffic stop, which an FBI news release said was a probable cause felony arrest stop, took place between Burns and John Day on US Highway 395. An informal report said that Ryan Bundy had been shot, but was to expected to survive his wounds. The FBI news release said the detainees will be changed with conspiracy to impede federal officials. According to reports, those remaining at the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge have been told they may leave without being stopped. One of the leaders of the takeover, Blaine Cooper, is said to be at the wildlife refuge. Chris Covert writes for Rantburg.com. He can be reached at grurkka@gmail.com and on Twitter. |

| #4 No way in hell CrazyFool. Last thing they want to have people see it. I also expect another incident in a couple days at the refuge. I bet the feds will say they took fire from it and stormed it. Same fake excuse that the Germans used against Poland. |
