Especially since they called off all the news aircraft. He could come out with a white flag above his head and they could mow him down. No one will know.

I don't like to be the one defending the LAPD but people are going overboard with this. They aren't asking not to film, just not to broadcast live because he probably has a TV on in the house

IA would uncover the story and those responsible for shooting a surrendering man will be held accountable.

After all, the LAPD and law enforcement in general have come a long way from the abuses of the past, right?

LOL, they are asking people to stop tweeting, because it is hindering the sheriff's investigation!

Where are you guys getting these "reports". So far none of them have panned out.

LATimes reporting, CNN reads it.

Yeah I see it now but it's linking to something else. They want the news up so fast that they put dummy links up.

One of the deputies involved in a gun battle Tuesday afternoon with fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner has died of his wounds, law enforcement sources told The Times.

The San Bernardino County sheriff's deputy was airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, according to the sources.

Another deputy was also wounded in the shootout near a cabin where Dorner was believed to be holed up in the snow-covered mountains near Big Bear. His condition was not immediately known.

The afternoon gun battle in which hundreds of rounds were exchanged was part of a quickly changing situation that began after Dorner allegedly broke into a home, tied up a couple and held them hostage before fleeing with their white pickup truck, authorities said.

Then Dorner was allegedly spotted by state Fish and Wildlife officers in the pickup truck, sources said. A vehicle-to-vehicle shootout ensued. The officer's vehicle was peppered with multiple rounds, according to authorities.

Dorner crashed his vehicle and took refuge in a nearby cabin, sources said. One deputy was hit as Dorner fired out of the cabin and a second deputy was injured when Dorner exited the back of the cabin, deployed a smoke bomb and opened fire again in an apparent attempt to flee. Dorner was driven back inside the cabin, the source said.

He remained inside the cabin Tuesday afternoon as officers swarmed the site.

Well I was following the twitter feed at latimes.com for a while.

Now they're reporting that they don't know if he's in the cabin and if it was him who threw the smoke bombs.

It's mad speculation.

I hope he gets away. The longer this goes on the better it will be for the LAPD in the long run.

Scanner noise: they shot tear gas into the house and now they have a fire.

"One shot fired from inside the cabin"

They're ordering all media to cut their broadcast and stop using twitter.

They're burning the cabin down.
