BURNS – One militant is dead and the top leaders of the refuge occupation are in police custody after law enforcement officials stopped vehicles Tuesday afternoon about 15 miles north of Burns.

Ryan Bundy, 43, of Bunkerville, Nev., suffered a minor gunshot wound and was taken into custody in a highway stop conducted by the FBI and the Oregon State Police.

Also arrested were his brother, Ammon Bundy, 40, of Emmett, Idaho, and Ryan W. Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Mont., Brian Cavalier, and Shawna J. Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah. They were charged with conspiracy to impede federal officers, a felony.

The identity of the person killed in the shootout was not released.

No details were immediately available about the dramatic finish to the free-roaming ways of the militant leaders. The FBI has been in charge of the refuge occupation, but it wasn't immediately known which police agencies were involved in the arrest.

17. Someone on facebook linked to his Twitter account.

He says he's back in AZ and is being charged with conspiracy to impede a federal officer. He's also begging for money and an attorney.

Perhaps pending notification.

8. Chat at the live feed is saying it was Finicum that was killed. This is...

...speculation at this point, of course.

[RKP5637]

14. Yep, must be, I've heard that a few times now. n/t

19. Oh my God. Not Blue Tarp Man.

I'm actually a little sad if it was him. I know he is/was horrid but that performance was one for the ages.

[RKP5637]

wasted life.

21. These guys were sure an example of group think! n/t

[rollin74]

22. sounds like the "militia" shitheads lost this little gunfight

glad these assholes are in custody

[RKP5637]

23. Same here! The feds likely had a plan all along but wanted them to hang themselves, and

the public to see their militia stupidity on display.

the kids who can finally get back to a regular school schedule. The Bundy tantrum is finally over! Huzzah!
