Two Branch Davidian cult members, including a woman whose husband was killed in a shootout with federal agents, left the sect's heavily armed compound Friday. They were the first cult members to leave in a week.

Kathy Schroeder, 34, left after telling authorities she wanted to see her children. Her four children were released last week in the days following the Feb. 28 gun battles between cult members and federal agents.More than seven hours later, a man identified by authorities as Oliver Gyarfas, an Australian citizen, left.

Gyarfas is one of three men who have been saying for two days that they wanted to leave the compound.

Earlier in the day, FBI special agent Dick Swensen said cult members had said "it wasn't time" to release Gyarfas, 19; Kevin Whitecliff, 32; and Brad Branch, 34.

Schroeder and Gyarfas were the first people to leave the complex since March 5.
