Greg Bretzing, the FBI special agent in charge in Oregon, released the 26:28 video – taken from an FBI plane -- the day after the shooting and provided commentary and answered some questions from reporters based on the video and accounts from officers on the ground.
Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, 54, of northern Arizona was the frequent spokesman for the surprise takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge that began Jan. 2 outside Burns. The occupiers – fluctuating from 20 to perhaps 40 at the peak – said they were protesting the imprisonment of two local ranchers and federal ownership of land.
Shawna Cox, 59, of Kanab, Utah, faces federal charges in the case, and was in the back seat of Finicum's truck. Cox was often at Ammon Bundy's side during his daily press briefings and, on at least one occasion, she took the microphone to share her thoughts about the occupiers' work.
Victoria Sharp, 18, who was at the refuge with her family, wasn't charged in the case and also was in the back seat of Finicum's truck.
Mark McConnell, 37, of Buckeye, Arizona, wasn't charged in the case and was driving the Jeep with takeover leader Ammon Bundy inside. Bundy, who recently moved to Idaho from Arizona, is the son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy, who led an armed standoff at his ranch in 2014 in a dispute over cattle grazing fees.
Investigators reviewing the shooting on a heavily wooded stretch of U.S. 395 said results won't be available for at least four to six weeks.
What's known is Finicum died a little after 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 26, when Oregon State Police troopers shot him after he drove away from a traffic stop, hit a snowbank and then got out of his late-model Dodge Ram pickup.
Law enforcement agencies have not yet named the troopers who shot Finicum. State officials refuse to release results of Finicum's autopsy. Investigators also haven't released Finicum's truck or close-up pictures of it.
Finicum's family members commissioned a private autopsy and also declined to make it public.
The FBI has released a video of the operation two days after the shooting – a rare move that a top agent said was to clear up inaccurate and inflammatory accounts of what happened. Finicum's family sides with witnesses in disputing the video and the FBI's version of events, saying authorities needlessly forced a violent end to the armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
The video lacks audio and the view is at times out of focus or blocked by trees. While Greg Bretzing, the special agent in charge of Oregon, confirmed shots were fired, it is difficult to identify exactly when that occurs.
People who've watched the video raise several points of contention, including:
Did Finicum reach for a gun or a gunshot wound?
Did police or FBI agents shoot at Finicum's truck before he drove away?
Did they riddle his truck with bullets as two women who were inside claim.
The Oregonian/OregonLive created a timeline of what the FBI, the two women in Finicum's truck and the driver of a Jeep also stopped during the confrontation have said publicly about what happened and when. We've also compared their comments to an FBI aerial video of the deadly encounter and later comments from law enforcement sources.
The operation began about 20 miles north of Burns on U.S. 395 as state police and FBI agents pull in behind the Jeep and truck carrying occupation leaders bound for a community meeting in John Day. The group, which had been occupying the refuge for 25 days, was invited to the meeting to discuss its beliefs.
Tuesday, Jan. 26
Leading up to the video:
The Sharp family of Auburn, Kansas, planned to sing at the John Day meeting and was leaving before the occupation leaders. As they got ready to go, the family members were in their van except the oldest daughter, Victoria. "We said, 'Go ahead and go, we'll take her.'" -- Cox

McConnell said the vehicles should leave at the same time. -- Cox
About 30 minutes into the drive, Cox was calling a friend in John Day to encourage them to attend Bundy's meeting. Cox also talked to LaVoy Finicum's wife, who had wanted to come but had gone home because their daughter had a high school basketball game. -- Cox
