Randy Weaver from Ruby Ridge standoff dies at 74

(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – Randy Weaver, the man infamous for his 11-day Ruby Ridge standoff with federal agents in Idaho in 1992, has died at the age of 74 on Wednesday, his daughter revealed. No cause of death was revealed, but a post from April suggests he had been dealing with health problems.

"Love you always Dad," Sara Weaver wrote in a Facebook post Thursday. "'See ya next time I see ya.'"

Randy Weaver had been a survivalist who was investigated by the U.S. government after reports were made that he had ties to white supremacists and anti-government groups. The government went on to accuse Randy Weaver of having sold two illegal sawed-off shotguns to an undercover Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives informant, according to NPR.
