Randall Claude Weaver was a former United States Army engineer. He was born on January 3rd, 1948 to his parents, Clarence and Wilma Weaver, both of whom were farmers in the town of Villisca, Iowa.
He is well known for his standoff with the army in Ruby Ridge, not far from Naples.
Weaver’s family, along with a friend named Kelvin Harris, had a misunderstanding or conversation with the United States Marshals and FBI agents. The confusion led to the weaver’s son being killed by a marshal who hit him at the back.
This might have infuriated his friend Harris, who also killed Marshal Williams Degan. A sniper shot Weaver through the back and also killed his friend, Kelvin Harris.
It is reported that the bullet which killed Weaver’s friend, Harris, also killed Weaver’s wife. His wife, Vicki, was holding an infant behind their house door when she was hit by sniper Lon Horiuchi’s bullet.
Weaver did not die during the incident, but had to surrender on the 11th day after the incident. He was charged with murder and conspiracy, but all charges were dropped and his family paid a huge sum for the loss of two of their own.
