LOS ANGELES – One person died in an armed clash with police as they arrested the leaders of a group laying siege to an American wildlife refuge, the FBI said Tuesday.
Ammon Bundy, who has led the revolt in rural Oregon, was one of seven people arrested after a stand-off pitting an anti-government militia against the US authorities. Bundy has said protesters acted at the request of a rancher who wanted to graze his 600 cattle on federal property, but was prevented from doing so when the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) installed a fence last year.
Bundy, 40, was arrested along with six others who face “a federal felony charge of conspiracy to impede officers of the United States from discharging their official duties through the use of force, intimidation, or threats,” the FBI said.
“During (the) arrest, there were shots fired,” the FBI statement said of an operation along a highway involving FBI agents and Oregon state police. Authorities did not immediately identify the person who was killed.
