RightFighter is spreading misinformation about this incident. I’m not sure why.

No, I corrected myself. The officers had fired one nonlethal shot at the first traffic stop.

The misinformation on this case came out early on from the occupants of the vehicle, who claimed that Finicum was on his knees with his hands up when he was executed. They also claimed that the vehicle was shot hundreds of times. There are pictures of the vehicle here clearly showing only a couple of bullet holes. http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/03/you_have_questions_about_the_l.html

There was also misinformation about the case on the part of the FBI - it seems one FBI agent shot two rounds at the vehicle (one of which can be seen destroying the rear driver side window) right as the vehicle came to a stop, but he did not report that in the incident report. Finicum was not hit by any of those rounds. He had three gunshot wounds, all from the final confrontation.
