Chris Dorner, the former Los Angeles Police Officer, who is accused of shooting five people last week and murdering three, including a police officer, has apparently been tracked down to a cabin near the 7 Oaks area near Big Bear Lake on Tuesday afternoon. So far at least two San Bernadino County sheriff’s deputies have been shot and wounded.
“There are deputies everywhere on the ground and on foot,” said Cindy Bachman, a San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman.
The Los Angeles Times reports,
The shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole a white pickup truck, sources said. San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jodi Miller confirmed deputies responded to a vehicle theft about 12:20 p.m., and the resident who reported the theft said the suspect matched Dorner’s description.
The U.S. Forest Service confirms there was an exchange of gunfire between officers on foot and the suspect, in the Santa Ana River drainage, north of State Highway 38 and south of Big Bear Valley. At least one officer of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife was involved, said John Miller, San Bernardino National Forest spokesman. That officer is not believed to be injured.
Dorner’s status was not immediately known as the gunfight continued.
