Chris Dorner may have been killed in firefight with U.S. Marshals and LAPD. |
This is a breaking story!
There will be updates frequently.
A brief understanding of what's happen over the past few days.
The Los Angeles Police are searching for a former police officer and Navy reserve officer Christopher Jordan Dorner in the murder of a couple. The national media focused on his disturbing letter (known as a manifesto) about his grievances with the LAPD and their history of racism.
He claimed that he made concerns about police brutality and the supervisors determined he lied and was fired. He blamed his lawyer (a former LAPD captain), those who fired him and the person who caused the police brutality. Los Angeles Police Department is re-opening its investigation into Dorner's dismissal from the LAPD so as to reassure the public that the police were doing everything in their power to capture Dorner.
The extremist went to ambush a college basketball coach named Monica Quan and her fiance. He kills them and went on the loose.
Deputies responded to a report of a home invasion and a carjacking at 12:22 PM (PST) and began looking for the vehicle on the ground and from the air. A person believed to be Dorner shot two San Bernardino sheriff's deputies in the area of Big Bear Lake, California. The deputies were airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where one died and the other was in surgery. The shootout began after deputies responded. The San Bernardino Sheriff's Department said Dorner is barricaded in a cabin and the building is surrounded by law enforcement. The Los Angeles Times has reported that there might be hostages in the cabin with Dorner.
A three-mile perimeter was set up around the cabin and residents were told to remain inside with their doors locked.
According to former assistant director of the FBI Tom Fuentes, tear gas was launched into the cabin. The cabin erupted in flames and one shot was heard. It is unknown if the shot came from inside or outside of the cabin or if Dorner shot himself. As the fire continued, ammunition was exploding from within the cabin.
Officials are not trying to put out the fire and are just waiting to enter.
Updates will occur throughout the night. Until a confirmation of the suspect being captured, we will keep you informed on Journal de la Reyna.
