美国联邦调查局逮捕了占领西北部俄勒冈州一个野生动物保护区近一个月的组织头领。

该组织头领邦迪和其他几人星期二离开野生动物保护区,据报道,他们是在乘车前往一个社区会议发表演讲的途中被有关当局拦下的。

联邦调查局发表声明说,这次是联邦调查局和俄勒冈州警方的联合行动,行动中发生枪击,一名嫌疑人死亡,另一人受伤。

邦迪、他的弟弟瑞恩以及加瓦利尔、考克斯和佩恩被逮捕。在其他行动中,有关当局还逮捕了桑迪里和奥肖纳西。他们被控犯有以武力、恐吓及威胁手段阻碍当局执行公务的重罪。

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested the leaders of a group that occupied a wildlife refuge in the northwestern U.S. state of Oregon for nearly a month.

Leader Ammon Bundy and several others left the refuge Tuesday and were reportedly driving to speak at a community meeting when authorities stopped their car.

An FBI statement said shots were fired during the joint operation with state police, leaving one suspect dead and another wounded.

Bundy and his brother Ryan were arrested along with Brian Cavalier, Shawna Cox and Ryan Waylen Payne.  In separate arrests, authorities also took Peter Santilli and Joseph Donald O’Shaughnessy into custody.

They are all charged with felonies of conspiracy to impede U.S. officers from discharging their official duties through force, intimidation or threats.
