The next day, an FBI sniper named Lon Horiuchi shot and wounded Weaver from the back while Weaver, Harris, and Weaver's 16-year-old daughter were outside, attempting to visit the body of Sam Weaver, which was placed in a shed after being recovered the previous day. As the three ran back to the house, Horiuchi fired again, in an attempt to shoot Kevin Harris, but the shot went through the open door of the cabin. It hit Weaver's wife Vicki in the head and instantly killed her, while only wounding Harris. Vicki Weaver was holding her 10 month old baby Elishiba at the time. Much later a robot vehicle approached the cabin and announced the presence of law enforcement. According to the Weavers, this was the first announcement of the source of the violence. Much controversy was later generated by the fact that, after the first day's events, the FBI had changed the rules of engagement; specifically, "deadly force could be used against any armed adult male if the shot could be taken without a child being injured."
