Ruby Ridge Incident — Part 01
Page 8
8 / 26
three armed people run from the cabin and head tc.ard the rock
outcroppings, they did not shoot as those three persons moved from
the cabin -- because their actions were not judged to pose a threat
to the safety of the agents on the scene..
The bullet that struck Mrs. Weaver was fired seconds after the.
first shot. It was intended for a man who Special Agent Horiuchi
mistakenly believed was the one he had just shot in the vicinity of.
the birthing shed..
Special Agent Horiuchi fired at his intended.
target while he was running toward the cabin and before he reached
the cabin door..
Tragically, Mrs. Weaver was struck by that shot while she.
stood behind the open front door of the cabin..
Special Agent Horiuchi said he could not see Mrs. Weaver when
he took the second shot and that he had no reason to believe that
she was standing there. The shot that killed Mrs. Weaver was not
even fired at or into the cabin; it travelled on a path parallel to
the cabin..
his testimony at the trial of Randy Weaver and Kevin Harris: he
did not see Vicki Weaver or anyone else behind the cabin door when
he fired the second shot..
Special Agent Horiuchi has testified.
that he was aiming at a moving target -- Kevin Harris -- at that
time.
It is important to remember that two different components of
the Department of Justice have reviewed the circumstances leading.
to Vicki Weaver's unfortunate death. Both of those components.
