Six men face trial in 2014 standoff near Bundy ranch

Jury selection begins Monday in a Las Vegas federal court in the trial of six men stemming from an armed standoff near Cliven Bundy’s ranch three years ago.
In April 2014, agents from the Bureau of Land Management were attempting to seize Bundy’s cattle when a tense confrontation ensued. No shots were fired, but the indictment claimed protesters pointed guns at federal agents in protest.

The dispute stemmed from Bundy’s cattle grazing on federally protected lands. The federal indictment said Bundy was under a 1998 court order demanding he remove his cattle from federal lands.

Bundy and his supporters said they believed the government was far too encroaching, violating their free speech and gun rights.
