FBI Releases Video Of Oregon Militia Man’s Death

The FBI has released video of the moment that Oregon militia man Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was shot dead as gunfire broke out during a confrontation on Tuesday night! As reported earlier by The National ENQUIRER, the deadly confrontation occurred after eight armed militia men left the Oregon wildlife refuge that a larger group had taken over as a protest against the Federal government. Police had formed a roadblock (as seen here) to stop their white van. Authorities then took leader Ammon Bundy and six others into police custody!

Some militia members had quickly declared that Finicum had been ruthlessly executed by the authorities. The FBI video — filmed from a helicopter above the roadblock — is meant to refute these charges. In this initial still from the official footage, Finicum can be seen in the snow outside the militia men's van. At this point, his arms are seemingly in the air as police have guns drawn on him.

This second still from the FBI video shows Finicum reaching into his jacket. Finicum was known to the local authorities as the militia's main spokesman — and, as reported by The ENQUIRER, had already said that he was ready to go out in a blaze of gunfire! "I'm just not going to prison," Finicum had ominously warned, adding: "There's no way that I'm going to sit in a concrete cell where I can't see the stars and roll out my bedroll on the ground."

This final shot shows Finicum on the ground after having been shot by another officer who approached him from behind — with the militia man having turned with his hand still in his jacket. As covered by The ENQUIRER, the other armed militia members later began to leave the compound after initial chilling statements that the armed members were ready for a "bloodbath." Ammon Bundy called for the armed men leave the wildlife refuge. "We need to step back," added Bundy attorney Mike Arnold. "Somebody died yesterday."
