Bo Gritz negotiates with separatist Randy Weaver on Ruby Ridge, Idaho, talking Weaver into surrendering to federal law officers. He receives more than 10,000 votes for president from Idaho in the November elections. Some 100 people, including Gritz, are said to be living in the developments. Despondent over the end of his marriage, Gritz shoots himself in the chest near Orofino, Idaho. Released from hospital two days later.
