Authorities say one person is dead in the attempted arrest of members of the militia group occupying a national wildlife refuge in Oregon.

A militia member involved in the takeover of the refuge more than three weeks ago was reportedly killed by FBI in a traffic stop near the complex.

The FBI said authorities arrested Ammon Bundy, 40, his brother Ryan Bundy, 43, Brian Cavalier, 44, Shawna Cox, 59, and Ryan Payne, 32, during a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon on U.S. Highway 395. Authorities said another person, Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy, 45, was arrested in Burns. h/t abc7
