BREAKING!! Ammon Bundy ARRESTED after SHOOTOUT with the FBI; One reported DEAD!!

It sounds like the standoff in Oregon has ended with a shootout against the FBI, and one person is being reported shot dead.

From CBS News:

The leader of an armed group that has occupied a national wildlife refuge in Oregon for more than three weeks has been arrested, a law enforcement official tells CBS News.

Ammon Bundy was arrested along with several others, according to the source. Shots were fired during the arrest, but the circumstances were unclear.

The group began occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon on Jan. 2 to protest federal land use policies. Bundy is the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who was involved in an armed standoff with the government over grazing rights in 2014.

Highway 395 at the intersection of U.S. 20 north of Burns — not far from the wildlife refuge — was closed in both directions Tuesday night, CBS affiliate KOIN reported.

Bundy was expected at a meeting with community members in John Day on Tuesday, but never showed up, KOIN reported.

I’ll post more details as they become available.
