HARNEY COUNTY, Ore. — KATU News has learned the leader of the armed occupation at Malheur Wildlife Refuge - Ammon Bundy - has been arrested, along with at least eight other individuals Tuesday evening.

Officials said it all began with a traffic stop while Bundy and some of his followers were en route to a community meeting in John Day, about 70 miles away.

Shots were fired after FBI agents, Oregon State troopers and other law enforcement agencies made the stop. CNN reports its unclear who fired first.

Details of the arrest remain unknown, but charges are pending related to the group's 25-day takeover of the wildlife refuge.

[BronsonLee]

[Slayven]

Did they fucking fire on the cops?!

Can we call them terrorists?

 

[sangreal]

Let's see if they actually get any punishment. Still waiting for repercussions from their last revolt

 

[Scirrocco]

Did they fucking fire on the cops?!

No one knows at this point. It's just Happening. There's at least one person in the hospital.

 

[Arkos]

Talk about a load of fucking idiots. Taking regular breaks from their "occupation" to drive 70 miles and eat at restaurants (and stay at hotels as well from reports I've heard).

Next time you want to be terrorists step your fucking game up losers. Enjoy prison.

No, skin is too light. :/


but seriously they're terrorists

These occupiers apparently forgot about the occupying part

 

[besada]

Let's hope none of the LEOs were injured. Happy to see these jerks in jail.

 

[adj_noun]

Golly, there must be a lot of traffic in that wildlife refuge they're never leaving until the tyrannical government gives in to their demands.

 

[Arkos]

These occupiers apparently forgot about the occupying part

They've been regularly commuting to town, one guy got arrested because he had a vehicle stolen from the refuge, these guys are not only idiots but also amateurs.

 

[Trouble]

Something tells me they won't get any jail time.

You really think the Federal government is going to just let these guys walk?

 

[RomanticHeroX]

What an absolute embarrassment that it was allowed to go on this long.

wonder who shot first.

 

[eu pfhor ia]

it was sounds like only those in the incident were arrested, and it was reported that the FBI told the rest (at the refuge that is) that they were free to go

Take everything with a grain of salt until it settles down, but:

ABC News has learned that four people were arrested on Tuesday, including Ammon Bundy, near the occupied Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon after shots were fired.

According to an ABC News producer on the scene, there were injuries.

Details of Bundy’s detention are still slowly making their way to the public, but Santilli claims that two people have been shot. He is currently waiting outside the hospital to identify them.

Someone(s) involved was airlifted to St Charles Hospital, which is now on lockdown.

What the, is that normal to lockdown a hospital for one suspect?

Oh shit!

 

[GhostBed]

lol, they just left the fucking building they were occupying and then got arrested via pull over like the bunch of chumps they are. Good riddance.

 

[davepoobond]

how many more are there?

 

[Sagroth]

What the, is that normal to lockdown a hospital for one suspect?

I'm surprised as well, especially as there is mention of Feds meeting the helicopter there and once it returns to Bend. Could be that a federal officer was injured, or maybe they are being extra cautious with one of the militia members? I honestly don't know.

[newtypepilot]

It's over? It's finally OVER??

 

[Kinyou]

They've been regularly commuting to town, one guy got arrested because he had a vehicle stolen from the refuge, these guys are not only idiots but also amateurs.

Man, this sounds like some bad comedy. I don't understand why the police didn't lock their whole building down

 

[adj_noun]

Someone died?

 

[Cagey]

If they were willing to shoot at police from a traffic stop, storming the compound would have logically been disastrous.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

If you just had members of a terrorist group shooting at the FBI then I'd say yeah, it seems reasonable to lockdown a hospital where supporters may try to save him.

Pieces of shit, no ifs or buts. Patriots my ass.

 

[entremet]

Because the right wing machine emboldened those asshats.

The Oregon town authorities weren't cooperative with the Feds and made them look like freedom fighters.

time to unveil the fema camps for dissenters.

 

[WedgeX]

So now they all go to jail for felony murder, since they were committing treason when someone died?

 

[A Link to the Past]

No one knows at this point. It's just Happening. There's at least one person in the hospital.

If it's indeed the case, I would love to see how people justify treating people who tried to kill cops as patriots.

 

[finowns]

I hope they make an example out of these idiots. The militia stuff is retarded.
