In the meantime, here’s background info from a recent LA Times report:
Dorner was engaged in a shootout with federal authorities in the Big Bear area Tuesday, a law enforcement source told The Times.
The shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole their car, the source said.
It was not immediately clear whether Dorner was in custody.
A second source said there was an active crime scene but did not have details.
Law enforcement officials were swarming the area.
U.S. Marshal’s officials said in court papers that Dorner could have fled to Mexico. In Tijuana, Dorner was listed as one of the most wanted fugitives. But LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman said that was only one of many locations authorities were considering.
Neiman said detectives were examining video that might show Dorner purchasing scuba gear at a Sport Chalet store in Torrance days before his alleged killing spree began.
Law enforcement sources told The Times that officials have confirmed the man in the video is Dorner. He spent $5 to $10 to fill up a scuba tank, the sources said. Investigators have also reviewed store receipts.
Officers have crisscrossed California pursuing tips about Dorner’s possible whereabouts and serving warrants at homes in Las Vegas and Point Loma.

But in the meantime?, shyt is daaaaaamn “interesting”! SMH!
Do you actually speak like this? You sound like a Wayans character from a parody film about the ‘hood lol
what parody film about the “hood” besides “Dont be a Menace” you’re talkin about?
T, don’t know what you are watching but they have him surrounded in a cabin.There was a shootout with game wardens after he was said to be in a house that he invaded,tying up at least one woman who he didnt harm.
Unfortunately, this man is dead already. The LAPD will not let him get out of there alive, they can’t let him have a voice after this to fight their corrupt allegations and false story. They need him dead to be able to manufacture the perfect story of a nutcase.
indeed
It’s probably about to be over I see a house on fire and they say shootout is going on
correction you can’t see the house but you see black smoke where they say the cabin is hidden by trees,but they are going to let the house burn to the ground.
Thank God everyone on this forum isn’t a total sheep
