Details are still sketchy, but given the that the news cycle is once again all about Donald Trump, it’s worth putting out now so it doesn’t get lost. From CNN:
Federal authorities arrested Ammon Bundy, the leader of a group of protesters occupying a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, during a traffic stop Tuesday, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Up to eight of Bundy’s followers were detained, the source said.
Shots were fired after authorities made the stop, according to the source. It’s not clear who fired first.
A nearby hospital is on lockdown and a helicopter was deployed out to the scene, but it’s still not clear whether anybody was actually shot, hence the passive voice.
