On Aug. 21, 1992, Randy Weaver, Kevin Harris, Sammy Weaver and dog Striker were walking on a road in the Kaniksu National Forest of Idaho.
The location, Ruby Ridge, 30 years ago, became a bloody battleground between Randy Weaver and U.S. Marshals and the FBI who were looking for him because he was suspected of selling two, illegal sawed-off shotguns to a government informant.
While under surveillance, the marshals encountered the Weavers and Harris. They shot the dog, which prompted Sammy Weaver to shoot at the marshal. A gun battle ensued. Sammy Weaver, 14, was shot and killed as was U.S. Marshal William Degan.
