two. maybe longer. it was not their truck that he took. and this couple was not harmed in any way that we have heard of but they were tied up. and nobody knows how long they were tied up. but then he went and he carjacked another car. again, that driver was not hurt. he took the car. the white pickup truck and that s when he came in contact with fish and game. and then, when they pursued, the gun fight began. that s when he got down the road. from where his car was burning last wednesday, to where this couple was home invaded today, to where this cabin is burning, as the crow fries is maybe seven or eight miles. it gives you a better idea of how long this whole pursuit went down today from the time that fish and game came in contact with him and then the sheriff deputy, that shootout happened at the actual cabin it gives you a better idea of when this thing started and where it ended about 8 miles down the road. he didn t walk down there.
officers on scene. but, again, you said it correctly that he apparently went in, a home invasion of a cabin where a couple was actually tied up. now we re getting reports that when he left that cabin that he did not steal the couple s car but went down the road and cam man deered ear carjacking or stealing another car, a white truck and driving that truck away. and that apparently is when fish and game officers came in contact with him and fish and game officers were part of the first shootout. fish and game says neither one of their officers were injured. but, they continued pursuing him and then local deputies got on the scene. and the cabin where the hold up or the standoff is right now is the cabin where christopher dorner ran inside. and deputies followed him. he turned around once he got inside that cabin and fired on one deputy and hit one of them. and then as he tried to run out the back door, reportedly another deputy, shep, had gone around the back and that s when dorner open
it. no internet. no television. no access to outside information unless he was working off a cell phone, a g-4 or something like that. a 4 g. at that point when they fired the tear gas in and the man didn t come out. unless he had gas masks or something in there that was the end of it all. now just a wait to find out a number of things. one, how it all came to a conclusion. but, it s going to also be fascinating to hear what we learn from this couple about what this man had in mind and how in the world he thought he was going to continue this. trace: the thing is we keep getting reports from people who can see from ground level. it looks like the middle of the wilderness. if you saw the street side view. you would see this is roughly maybe 20, 25 yards from the gal road actual road. the police officers have pulled off the side of the road and barricaded themselves
checked off. this is the man over the past 7 or 8 days that has evaded police at least five times by our count and they are making sure it doesn t happen again, shep. gigi, out on the road, have the cops given you an idea after these couple of hours why it is they haven t opened up traffic or not? well, they apparently feel very confident that whoever that suspect is that was shooting at them is indeed hold up off of highway 38, as you heard right now has not reopened to traffic. the traffic down hill from big bear and, remember, big bear is a ski resort. lots of skiers up there right now. the way to come down the hill is about three hours. they just decided it wasn t feasible they feel confident they have their suspect off of highway 38. that s why they are opening the road and allowing people to come down off the hill and allowing people in a short while to go back up the mountain. shepard: that makes sense.
weapon from the couple that he invaded their home. but in the past hour and 15 or 20 minutes, there has not been a shot heard coming out of that cabin. though police believe they have their man inside that cabin. shep? shepard: all right. trace, on the left side of the screen you are looking at live pictures just after 4:00 in the afternoon. this is loma linda, california. courtesy of our network affiliate out there. there are checkpoints all around. at one of those checkpoints is our correspondent gigi from fox 11 news kttv for the south land. gigi, what s happening where you are? hi, shep. good afternoon. we are here in big bear. this is highway 330 for folks that are familiar with the area. they just reopened the road just a couple of seconds ago. but for the last three hours, they have been searching every single car that s been coming down the hill at gun point. we are talking about even official vehicles. the concern, of course, that even though they think they
