BREAKING NEWS: During Mass, a shooter opened fire through church windows with multiple weapons, killing 2, injuring 17, then took his own life. https://bit.ly/4n2qsXx

29 years ago today in 1992, Vicki Weaver is shot in the head by FBI sniper Lon Horiuchi while holding her baby daughter during the Ruby Ridge Standoff in Idaho.

Randy Weaver was born on January 3rd, 1948 in Villisca, Iowa into a religious farming family. At 20 years old he dropped out of college and volunteered to join the United States Army in 1968 during the Vietnam War and was assigned to a special forces unit working with Green Berets. After three years of distinguished service, he received an honorable discharge from the army in 1971. Shortly after leaving the army he married his wife Vicki. Randy and Vicki were Christian Fundamentalists who believed the End Times were imminent, and decided to move away from “corrupt civilization” by moving to a 20 acre property and building a cabin in Ruby Ridge, Idaho. Randy and Vicki would have 4 children: Sara, 16; Samuel, 14; Rachel, 10; and Elisheba, 10 months. The Weavers did not trust public schools and homeschooled their children.

Randy and Vicki had strong political beliefs and began networking and meeting up with liked-minded people. They believed the Federal Government was a corrupt entity trying to implement a new world order, and were concerned with white Christians becoming a minority in the U.S. Randy started attending anti-government political rallies when he was noticed by the FBI and interviewed by them in 1985. In 1986 at another rally, he was approached by an undercover ATF informant (posing as an illegal fi****ms dealer) trying to get information on one of his friends. The ATF informant over the next years would try to maintain a relationship with Weaver by asking him to do illegal activities, all of which Randy declined. Finally in 1989 out of frustration to have the ATF informant leave him alone, Randy Weaver used a saw to shorten two shotgun barrels below ATF regulations. The ATF would use this to pressure Randy and gave him an ultimatum, he was to become an informant for the Federal Government and the charges would be dropped, or they would continue to pursue legal action for shortening the shotgun barrels.

Weaver refused to become an informant and was arrested in January 1991. Weaver’s court date was set for February 1991 but an error in the paperwork he had said it was for March, and Randy failed to appear in court. He was given another chance to appear in court on the date stated in his letter but the entire experience reaffirmed Randy’s anti-government views and suspicion that he would not receive a fair trial. Randy refused to attend and U.S. Marshals Service officers made a series of attempts from 1991-1992 to have Weaver surrender peacefully, but he refused to leave his cabin. On March 27th, 1992 the Federal Government made an official operation to capture Randy and surveillance teams were dispatched.

On August 21st, 1992 six Federal Marshals were sent to scout out the area and find a position to ambush Randy. They were fully clad in military camouflage and gear but were noticed by the Weaver’s dogs who gave away their position. Randy’s 14-year-old son Sammy and 24-year-old family friend named Kevin Harris went to go investigate why the dogs were barking. The Marshals shot the dogs, and not knowing who the men were, Kevin and Sammy shot at the Marshals starting a brief firefight. Sammy was hit in the arm and was running back to his house when he was shot in the back by the Marshals, dying on scene. Kevin Harris shot and killed one of the Marshals with a bolt-action rifle, but could not rescue the body of Sammy and retreated back to the main cabin.

That night the Federals surrounded Weaver’s cabin and began a siege. On August 22nd, the FBI Hostage Rescue Team arrived on scene and took control of the situation. Snipers and observers were deployed to watch Randy before the official negotiators arrived. Randy, Kevin, and 16-year-old Sara left their cabin to go visit the co**se of Sammy in a nearby shed when FBI Sniper Lon Horiuchi shot and wounded Randy Weaver in the back with a bullet exiting his right armpit. Then Randy, Kevin, and Sara ran back towards their cabin and closed the door when Horiuchi fired a second bullet through the door. This bullet hit Vicki Weaver in the head while she was holding her 10-month old daughter and killed her instantly. Throughout the siege no more gunfire was exchanged, but Randy losing his son and wife was distraught and refused to surrender.

Weaver’s commanding officer from Vietnam, James “Bo” Gritz was summoned to act as a mediator, and conservative radio broadcaster Paul Harvery offered to pay for a strong legal defense for Weaver if he surrendered. After 10 days of siege, Randy surrendered and was hit with a host of charges that his lawyer was able to successfully defend. Weaver was only convicted of failure to appear in court which he was credited with time served. Kevin Harris was also acquitted of all charges. Weaver went on to sue the Federal Government, which settled out of court with him by awarding damages of $1,000,000 to each of the three surviving Weaver children and $100,000 to Randy.

The Ruby Ridge Standoff remains one of the most controversial law enforcement engagements in U.S. history. It spawned an armed anti-government militia movement that would be reinvigorated a year later with the Waco Siege in Texas where Federal law enforcement did not learn from their heavy handed approach to armed standoffs.
