(Rick Bowmer | Associated Press file photo) In this Jan. 9, 2016, file photo, Robert "LaVoy" Finicum, left, a rancher from Arizona, talks to reporters at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Ore. The family of Finicum, an Arizona rancher fatally shot by Oregon State Police during the armed occupation of a national wildlife refuge, alleged in a federal lawsuit Friday, Jan. 26, 2018, that he was "deliberately executed by a preplanned government ambush." The wrongful-death lawsuit filed in Portland on the second anniversary of Finicum's death seeks at least $5 million in damages for his widow plus each of their 12 children.
