The FBI and Oregon State Police on Tuesday night arrested several of the armed militants who have occupied a federal building in eastern Oregon for almost a month, including leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy.
Here are some of the militants’ booking photos, via local TV station KOIN:

The Bundys, Cavalier, Cox and Payne were arrested during a traffic stop while en route to a meeting in the community of John Day. O’Shaughnessy and Santilli were each arrested separately, according to KOIN.
KOIN reported that Jon Eric Ritzheimer, 32, also turned himself into the FBI in Phoenix on a federal charge related to the occupation. Ritzheimer has been featured in viral videos urging support for the occupying group:

Another member of the group, rancher LaVoy Finicum, was killed while Ryan Bundy was shot after they allegedly refused to surrender to police at the traffic stop. It’s unclear whether the militants or law enforcement fired first.
