After a small miscommunication, Randy Weaver missed his court date for guns charges. The ATF and FBI were undercover in northwestern Idaho, cracking down on anti-government militias, when Weaver sold a sawed off shotgun to an undercover agent. 18 months after his original court date, US Marshalls began surveillance on the Weaver home. On August 21, 1992, agents began to close in when all hell broke loose. Agents shot and killed the Weaver family dog and the Weaver's son, Sammy. It is disputed as to what actually happened on the trail outside the cabin but at the end of the day, two people and a dog were dead. During the 11 day stand off, Weaver's wife Vicki was shot in the head by a sniper. Weaver's world was coming to an end. Weaver finally surrendered and was put on trial. Randy Weaver was sentenced to 18 months in prison and had to pay a $4,000 fine. The question has always been who was in the wrong? It is believed the the government was the reason for the stand off and killings of Weaver's son and wife. In the years following the incident, Weaver and his surviving children became born again christians and forgave the FBI and ATF for what had happened. Randy Weaver passed away on May 11, 2022 at the age of 74.
