An eyewitness to the shooting of LaVoy Finicum claims he had his arms up when law enforcement shot him multiple times, and then “riddled” his truck with bullets with her and others in it, though not one of the protesters ever touched their guns.

Victoria Sharp, 18, gave her account of the events surrounding the killing of Finicum by phone, reportedly hours after the shooting on Tuesday night, which was posted on the protest group’s Facebook page on Wednesday.

Sharp told the interviewer that law enforcement had set up an ambush site to trap them in a remote, wooded area along the highway. Ammon Bundy, Finicum, Sharp and others from the group were seeking to go to a community meeting in the town of John Day. The young woman mentioned that the sheriff, presumably Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward, was to be in attendance.
