Alert! One Dead as Oregon ‘Occupation Leaders’ Ammon and Ryan Bundy Arrested
BREAKING – ALERT!!!
Ammon and Ryan Bundy, the brothers leading ‘anti-government protesters’ ‘occupying’ Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon, and five other people were arrested Tuesday, state and federal authorities said. One person was dead, the FBI said.
Shots were fired about 4:25 p.m. (7:25 p.m. ET) when the FBI and Oregon State Police began an “enforcement action” at the wildlife refuge, the FBI said. It didn’t identify the victim but said he or she wasn’t a law enforcement officer.
Three other people were in custody in addition to the Bundys in the initial incident, authorities said:
- Brian Cavalier, 44, of Bunkerville, Nevada
- Shawna Cox, 59, Kanab, Utah
- Ryan Waylen Payne, 32, of Anaconda, Montana
Two other people — Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, of Cottonwood, Arizona, and Peter Santilli, 50, of Cincinnati — were arrested later in separate but related incidents, the FBI said.
Santilli is well known locally as a webcaster and activist who has vigorously supported the Bundys. He was live-streaming the initial confrontation when his feed went down late Tuesday afternoon.
No further information was provided about O’Shaughnessy.
All face federal felony charges of conspiracy to impede federal officers from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation or threats, authorities said.

Protesters led by the Bundy brothers have occupied the land refuge since the beginning of the year. Members of the group had been scheduled to appear at 6 p.m. for a meeting with authorities in the town of John Day in Grant County.
At least 50 miles of U.S. Highway 395 were closed about 5:30 p.m. between Burns and John Day for a “crash/hazard,” according to the state Transportation Department.
The Bundys are sons of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in a high-profile 2014 standoff with the government over grazing rights.
Cox’s husband, Donald, told NBC News on Tuesday night that his wife — who’d been planning to return home Tuesday to Utah — “isn’t a member of anything but felt like the cause was good.”
Shawna Cox, a mother of 12 and grandmother of 43, has been friends with the Bundy family for about 15 years, Donald Cox said.
“She’s a cowgirl,” he said. “She’s a patriot. This is all about her constitutional rights.”
