Two officers have been shot during a raging gun battle with Christopher Dorner, the fugitive ex-LAPD cop suspected of killing three people in Southern California.
Dorner is currently barricaded in a remote cabin in San Bernardino National Forest and holding heavily-armed officers at bay. Hundreds of gunshots could be heard coming from the woods as officers engaged Dorner, who has promised to 'wage war' against police and kill any officers who tried to stop him. The firefight began when a California Fish and Game warden spotted Dorner in a stolen pickup on Tuesday morning and tried to stop him. Dorner opened fire as he fled, possibly wounding the warden.
This cabin the building where Christopher Dorner is believed to be hole up after shooting at game wardens and wounding two sheriff's deputies ..
The Los Angeles Times reports that Dorner wounded on deputy while shooting through a window in the cabin. He shot a second deputy after he threw a smoke bomb and tried to escape out of the back door of the building.
He was driven back by gunfire. The deputies were heroically taken to safety after police threw smoke bombs of their own so they could obscure the roads so they could be driven to a waiting medical evacuation chopper in the back of a pickup.
He then bailed out of the truck and fled through the mountains on foot.
Federal agents and San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies pursued him and engaged him in a gun battle, KCAL-TV reports. Two deputies were wounded after Dorner ought refuge in the cabin.
Dorner remains at large despite a massive police search and a $1million reward that was offered for his capture on Sunday. About 600 tips have come into the LAPD since the bounty was announced. Source: DM
