U.S. Marshal William Degan and Weaver's 14-year-old son, Sammy, were killed in a gunbattle near the cabin, and the FBI was called in later that day. The next day, Horiuchi wounded Weaver and his friend Kevin Harris and killed Vicki Weaver. Weaver and Harris surrendered 10 days later, and in a 1993 federal trial, they were acquitted of murder charges in the killing of Degan. >> Don't worry; be happy. The FBI will always be at your side. What is even worse than this decision is the fact that in many accounts, Horiuchi, the FBI "sharpshooter" says he was aiming at someone else when he killed Vicki Weaver. This leaves us with the fact that the FBI is not only hiring people who make really bad decisions, but they are hiring unskilled people into positions that require immense skill. Horiuchi must be a mafia reject. I think he claims to be firing at someone behind Vicki Weaver. The man obviously can't hit a target he is aiming for unless, of course, he was aiming for the baby, in which case he came reasonably close.
