Good evening. Tonight, a deadly turn of events sparking even more distrust between the fbi and a group of angry militia men in rural oregon. One rancher killed and conflicting eyewitness accounts adding fuel to the fire in the nearly monthlong armed standoff. Tonight questions about how this will end. Heres abcs Neal Karlinsky. Reporter authorities saidt was supposed to be a careful and peaceful traffic stop. But instead it ended in the shooting death of robert Lavoy Finnicum. A takedown that left the leaders of his group hananuffed on the ground. Tonight the scene has turned into a rallying cry for the armed occupiers at a remote wildlife refuge here who took over this land in early january. Theye calling lavoy a hero in the patriot movement. His picture mow spreading online. Wrongfully taken out, they say, overly aggressive law i believe Lavoy Finnicum was murdered. Reporter the fbi and local police wont explain how it all happened or even name finnicum as the man killed by police gunfire. Im disappointed that a traffic stop yesterday, it was supposed to bring peaceful resolution to this ended badly. Reporter but one alleged eyewitness says he was jusus walking with his hands in the air. Hes like, just shoot me, then, just shoot me and they did, they shot him dead. Reporter in an audio interview posted to youtube, victoria sharp, seen here in this video shot by abc news earlier this month at the refuge, says she was in the car with finnicum when it went down. He was just walking. With his hands in the air, i saw it. I swear to god. Then after he was down on the ground, shot him three more times. Like so much about the bizarre occupation, the story is not so clear. Another alleged witness said he crged at Law Enforcement. He was not on his knees, none of that nonsense. That was a miscommunication. Reporter one of the occupiers, pete santilly, live streamed his approacho the fbi blockade after he heard shots had been fired. If theyve taken ammon into custody, its time for theres women and children up there, okay . Theres women and children. We need to go get them out. Reporter he was then taken into custody. Theyre surrounding us. Theres no firearms in the car, please dont aim the rifle you. This is a perimeter, you need to go back. Reporter from the beginning police found this strange standoff challenging, fearing a bloodbath if they moved in too quick. Any time you have people dug in that are armed and that they saying theyre not going to leave until they get those demands the youve set up a obviously. Reporter while we still dont know t details of the deadly traffic stop, finnicum himself almost seemed to predict tensions were about to escalate. In an interview just posted by the oregonian by youtube. The tenor has changed. They have become more hardened. Theyre doing all the things that shows that they want to take some kinetic action against us. They do not intend on losing here. And we do not intend giving it back to them. Reporter but tonight the areas on lockdown, now sealed off by heavily armed fbi s. W. A. T. Teams at roadblocks eight miles out. As we found out when approaching. You need to go back out and stay outside that sign, please. Okay, will do. Well, thoseseuys meant business. Reporter in all, eight key members of the occupation are under arrest, facing a federal charge of conspiracy to impede u. S. Officers by use of force. Occupation, is in fbi custody. In a surprisee move his lawyer called for an end to the standoff. Right now im asking the federal government to allow the people at the refuge to god home without being prosecuted. Reporter words he says bundy wanted him to share. To those remaining at the refuge, i love you. Let us take this fight from here. Please stand down. Reporter but the circumstances of finnicums death could be making the occupiers nervous. They told us that we could safely leave. Well the group that was leaving has a dead man in it so it depends on what you believe. Reportcr the standoff began in early january when several dozen militia men, led by bundy and finnicum, took over the remote refuge when no one was there. This refuge here is rightfully owned by the people. And we intend to use it. R rorter bundy said his group was fighting for the miles of federal land to ranchers like him and fighting for freedom for two other ranchers convicted of lighting fires on federal land. Im going to jail for five years f 127. Seems like a bit of an overkill. Reporter when we first visited the compound, despite the fact that many were armed, it was seemimily peaceful and Law Enforcement was keeping their distance. This is the sanctuaryheyve taken over. You can see their guard tower in the distance over there. And here you really dont see a lot of presence at all. And they have gasoline, actually, fuel pumps for their vehicles. Reporter inside, bunks the militia members slept on. A woman preparing meals. At the time, ranchers were pleading for others to join their cause. We need you to get here and stand with us. Whether youre armed or unarmed, get up here. Reporter finnum, a grandfather of 19, traveled here from arizona and said he was from a long line of ranchers. Their livivihood is being threatened, their economic squeezed, and theyre being squeezed out. Their way of life, generational. Love you, support you reporter lavoy had been in trouble with supports before, joining Rancher Cliven Bundy in a 2014 faceoff with federal agents over cattle grazing rights. Back off reporter when i met him, he told me he was willing to die for the cause. How did we get here in the first place . Was there not people who gave their life to us . Was it not a great gift, a great sacrifice . It certainly was. You love your wife, kids, you give them a hug. And if i see them on the flip de, i see them on the flip side. Reporter today theres growing concern that finnicum will become a martyr for extremist groups. Many of his supporters voicing their anger all over the internet. Nevada Assembly Member Michelle Fiori tweeted her support, referring to h h death as murder. My heart and prayers go out to lavoy lavoys family. Hands up in burns, oregon. Ryan bundy has been shot in the arm. The comes dayss may be critical in how all this gets resolved. I think what the government does not want to do is get into an Excessive Force situation. Where they basically raid this refuge a physically remove people who are armed, who may well try to shoot at them, which will probably result in them getting shot. Reporter reports tonight that only a handful remain and they are being encouraged by nearby patriot groups to end the siege. The sheriff made it clear today that their time is up. Itt time for everybody in this illegal occupation to move on. We dont arm up and rebel. This cant happen anymore. This cant happen in america and it cant happen in harny unty.
