Question

11 weavers were killed in a clash, when, where, and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

They bought twenty acres (8 ha) of land on Ruby Ridge in 1983 and began building a cabin.

The property was located in Boundary County on a hillside on Ruby Creek opposite Caribou Ridge, northwest of nearby Naples. In 1984, Randy Weaver and his neighbor Terry Kinnison had a dispute over a $3,000 land deal.

On August 21, 1992, the situation turned violent after Weaver's dog discovered a surveillance team of six heavily armed U.S. marshals inside the Ruby Ridge property. One of them shot and killed the dog, which led to an exchange of fire with Sammy Weaver, who was shot in the back and killed.
