RANDY Weaver, the survivalist known for his role in the Ruby Ridge standoff with the FBI, has died at the age of 74.
His daughter Sara confirmed the news on Facebook on Thursday.
A cause of death for Weaver has not been released.
Weaver's wife Vicki and 14-year-old son Samuel were killed by an FBI sniper during an 11-day standoff in the mountains of Idaho in 1992.

It is so sad to hear this. Back when it happened, I was in my prime working on Illinois State Highways.
Ruby Ridge turned into an armed camp for the federal goons. And the HRT and Lon Horiuchi were the biggest part of the problem. :-/

They were not killed, they were murdered. I have read both books about it all, one wrote by Randy and Sara and one wrote by Sara, both are great books and brings tears to you. Rubyridgetofreedom.com help support Sara.

She sure needs help to bury her Dad. After all, her mother and younger brother (and the family dog) were murdered by the HRT. ;)
