News outlets including CNN are reporting that an armed group is in a standoff with federal agents in a building on the grounds of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in rural southeast Oregon. The authorities plan to wait the group out and are hopeful for a peaceful end to the situation. It started as a demonstration to support Dwight and Steven Hammond, a father and son who were convicted of arson after burning over 100 acres of the refuge in 2001. Here is an image and a map of the location of this standoff.
