	Looking forward to visits from his grandparents, Sammy would immerse himself in the books that they brought with them. By age nine he was memorizing encyclopedias and could recite the United States Constitution. He enjoyed adventure stories and fishing for brook trout which he would clean and bring home for meals. He taught his Yellow Labrador, Striker, to pull containers of water on a sled from the spring nearby to the cabin and also to help his grandfather walk up the hills on the property.

	Harris' version was that, when the dog followed by Sammy then Harris came out of the woods, the dog ran up to Cooper and danced about as he did in playing with the children. The dog then ran to Roderick, who shot the dog in front of Sammy, who cursed Roderick and shot at him. Degan came out of the woods firing his M16 and hit Sammy in the arm. Harris then fired and hit Degan in the chest knocking him down. Cooper fired at Harris who ducked for cover. Cooper fired again and Sammy was hit in the back and fell. Harris fired about 6 feet in front of Cooper and forced him to take cover. Cooper only then announced that they were US Marshals. Harris checked Sammy's body, found him dead, and ran to the cabin.

	After the ~~firefight at the "Y", Marshals Hunt and Thomas went from the hillside to a neighbor's house in order to request assistance while~~ Marshals ~~Norris~~, ~~Cooper and Roderick stayed with Degan's body at the "Y".~~ Randy and Vicki went to the "Y" and retrieved Sammy's body. Randy, Vicki and Harris placed ~~Samuel's body~~ in a guest cabin near the main cabin.		==Aftermath==

			After the Marshals retreated, Randy and Vicki Weaver went to the "Y" and retrieved Sammy's body. Randy, Vicki and Harris placed Sammy in a guest cabin near the main cabin were they washed his body and wrapped it in a sheet. Two days later while the FBI was converging closer to the Weaver cabin they discovered Sammy's body described by them as "A little boy, stripped naked and cleaned and wrapped in a green sheet. Less than 5ft tall, about 70-80 pounds and uncircumcised with bruises on his knees and shins". Agents then removed Sammy's body for a coroners exam. Sammy's remains were cremated several days later.

			On 6 September 1995 in testimony before a United States Senate sub-committee, Randy Weaver said this of the incident involving Sammy:

			"On 21 August 1992, Federal marshals shot my son Samuel in the back and killed him. He was running home to me. His last words were 'I'm coming Dad.' They shot his little arm almost off, and they killed him by shooting him in the back with a 9-millimeter submachine gun. The gun had a silencer on it. He was not wanted for any crime. He did not commit any crime. The marshals killed his dog right at his feet. He only tried to defend himself and his dog.

			Sammy was just 14 years old. He did not yet weigh 80 pounds. He was not yet 5ft tall. The marshals who killed Sammy were grown men. They were in combat gear. They had their faces painted with camouflage. They were carrying machine guns and large caliber semi-automatic pistols. They were trained to kill.

The dogs became alerted, and Sammy along with Kevin Harris, a friend of the family followed the dogs to investigate. Weaver and Harris were hoping that the dog had noticed a game animal since the cabin was out of meat. Sammy told his father he believed the dogs had sensed either a large animal or a man in the woods. The recon team of Marshals (Roderick, Cooper and Degan) initially retreated through the woods but later took up hidden defensive positions.

	The version of the firefight told by ~~DUSMs~~ Roderick and Cooper was that the dog, followed by Harris then Sammy, came out of the woods. ~~DUSM~~ Degan challenged Harris, who turned and shot Degan dead without Degan firing a single shot.
