police tracked down the suspect, engaged him in a wild shootout and dorner ultimately barricade himself inside the cabin which eventually went up in flames. los angeles police holding a news conference right now with new details on this standoff. let s listen. what transpired in san bernardino is being investigated by the san bernardino county sheriff s department, and so i have no comments on their investigation at this time. i can tell you that the lapd has now moved back into a normal state of police operation. that began late last night, and will continue now, as far as normal patrol operations. the protective details, some of those are still in place, and those will remain in place until the department and those prote protectees feel safe. as you know until that investigation in san bernardino
certainly, there was information that was provided that was very beneficial yesterday and that will be examined and evaluated by the people who deal with the rewards. the los angeles police department does not issue rewards. so we are not in the reward business. those are outside entities that issue those rewards in an effort to support the investigation. beyond the emotional and psychic toll of losing officers and deputies, has there been any calculation of the financial cost of all of this? not as yet. i don t have any cost estimates in terms of what this particular investigation has cost to this point. i m sure at some point those figures are an estimate will come out. how far will the investigation go? our investigation will continue until the investigators have been able to bring their case to a conclusion. a lot of that will deal with the
they have young children. they have people who have schools that their kids go to and there s great fear still. that s a trauma they have to recover from. i don t have any information related to accomplices or any other person s involvement. those are parts of this investigation we have to examine and look into. can you comment on what the feeling was like? like many of you, we were listening on local internet channels that allowed us to monitor aid owe frequency. it was horrifying to listen to that fire fight and to hear those words officer down is the the most gut wrenching experience you can have as a police officer. because you know what that me
district attorney s office and making sure that we have covered every base. there are still witnesses o out there. the thousands of clues that we have many are related to the investigation and the murder. and multiple murders. so those witnesses still are key pieces that need to be resolved in terms of the investigation and documented. we don t just stop a murder case simply because we think that the suspect in that case is no longer with us. when you said officers are still in great fear, do they it doubt that this is over? again, if it were your family placed in jeopardy, not knowing for certain that the person that was threatening your family is no longer around and the threat no longer exists, that s a concern. so there are some families who are literally traumatized.
as you know, until that investigation is concluded and we have any type of positive identification on what transpired up there, we still have some individuals in this department who are still in great fear. when your life and the lives of your family are placed in jeopardy and threatened with death, that s quite something to deal with. so we have approximately a dozen or so of those protective details that will remain in place at this point. all other resources have been returned to their normal functions. the city has not been on any tactical alert since early yesterday morning. we will remain in that status until further. at this time, that s all i have in terms of the investigation. if there are some questions related to the dorner investigation that i m able to answer, again, i m not able to comment on anything related to san bernardino.
