Oregon militia spokesman LaVoy Finicum has been shot dead after a traffic stop escalated into a shoot-out that saw Ryan Bundy wounded and eight leaders of the occupation movement arrested.

The group's leader Ammon Bundy was among the militiamen arrested during the encounter on Tuesday afternoon as they drove to attend a community meeting in the neighboring town.

It was the culmination of a tense stand-off between federal agents and the activists more than three weeks after they took over a government building in Burns, Oregon, to protest two ranchers being jailed.

According to local media, shots were fired within minutes of the traffic stop, killing Finicum and wounding 43-year-old Ryan Bundy.

It is not clear who opened fire first.

Ammon Bundy, Ryan Bundy, and three other leaders of the occupation - Ryan Payne, 32; Brian Cavalier, 44, and Shawna Cox, 59 - were charged with conspiracy to impede federal officers,Oregon Live reports.

All detained militia members were being held at Multnomah County Jail without bail Wednesday.

Oregon standoff spokesman Robert 'LaVoy' Finicum killed, Bundys in custody after shooting near Burns
January 26, 2016 at 6:50 PM, updated January 27, 2016 at 9:18 AM

BURNS � Oregon standoff spokesman Robert "LaVoy" Finicum was killed and other leaders of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupation were arrested Tuesday after the FBI and state police stopped vehicles about 20 miles north of Burns.

Authorities did not release the name of the person who died at the highway stop, but Finicum's daughter confirmed it was Finicum, 55, of Cane Beds, Arizona, one of the cowboy-hat wearing faces of the takeover.

................................................

Fiore, a vocal supporter of the Bundy family, said that Ammon Bundy told his wife that Finicum was cooperating with police when he was shot.

But sources told The Oregonian/OregonLive that Finicum and Ryan Bundy disobeyed orders to surrender and resisted arrest. No other details were available.

Finicum on Monday said an interview that "the tenor has changed" between the occupiers and federal authorities.

Anti-government groups urge calm in Oregon standoff after occupier killed
By Peter Henderson and Edward Tobin

(Reuters) - Anti-U.S. government groups called on supporters to "stand by" on Wednesday after one protester was killed and eight arrested in the month-long occupation of an Oregon wildlife reserve over federal control of land.

U.S. authorities tightened security after their standoff with the occupiers turned violent on Tuesday when officers stopped a car carrying occupation leader Ammon Bundy and his group near the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.

Activists said Robert LaVoy Finicum, a rancher who acted as a spokesman for the group, was killed in that confrontation. Bundy's brother, Ryan, was wounded.

There were no details on what set off the shooting.
