BREAKING: Ammon Bundy In FBI Custody

Follow this post for additional updates.
 
This evening, the FBI made a legal, felony stop on a vehicle carrying Ammon Bundy and several other individuals.  After a shoot out with the FBI, four individuals were reportedly taken into custody, including Ammon Bundy.  Two individuals are reported to have been taken to the Burns hospital, which is currently on lock down.
FBI sources stated that those at the Refuge are currently free to leave unimpeded, implying that there might be action if they do not leave immediately.
Although those in custody have not been confirmed, we can safely assume that Buddha Cavalier was with Ammon.  Ryan Payne suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was taken to the hospital, according to local officials.
