The occupation of Oregon's Malheur National Wildlife Refuge is over, ending with the surrender of the final four occupiers this morning on its 41st day, OregonLive reports.

The FBI surrounded the refuge Wednesday night to convince the last four occupiers — Jeff Banta, Sean Anderson, Sandy Anderson and David Fry — to surrender peacefully. The four surrendered only this morning after phone calls with police and supporters. Also Wednesday night, Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher heavily connected to the occupation group, was arrested at Portland International Airport.

The FBI held a news conference at 2 p.m. today, in part saying that the refuge will remain closed for a number of weeks so they can begin collecting evidence, searching for bombs and evaluating the damages.
