— Breaking News (@BreakingNews) February 12, 2013
Update — looks like it’s over, just waiting for confirmation Dorner died when the cabin he was trapped in caught fire. Here is the L.A. Times report as of 8:41 Eastern:
A single gunshot was heard as authorities moved into the cabin where Christopher Dorner was believed to be holed up.
According to a law enforcement source, police had broken down windows, pumped in tear gas and blasted a loud speaker urging Dorner to surrender. When they got no response, police deployed a vehicle to rip down the walls of the cabin “one by one, like peeling an onion,” a law enforcement official said.
By the time they got to the last wall, authorities heard a single gunshot, the source said. Then flames began to spread through the structure, and gunshots, probably set off by the fire, were heard.
Dorner’s body has not been found. The police search will be focused in the basement area, the source said.
And more, body pulled from burned out cabin, believed to be Dorner.

California is blowing up in every single direction these days.
“Come and get me, coppers !!!”
“Nothing we’re going to do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring gun deaths down to a thousand a year from what we’re at now,” Biden said, according to a Politico report.
… or stopping a crazy ex-cop from getting your house burnt down.
“Look at me, ma! Top o’ the world!”
Dorner seems like the sort they’ll have to kill.
Think this will piss of his fan club?
Kill him, or capture, fair trial THEN kill him.
The nation will have to endure another: “if I had a son”, but screw that!
I don’t see Obama making the, “if I had a son” statement this time. He will probably be upset that Dorner upstaged him.
Those who think Dorner will live to stand trial, raise your hands.
Now if Dorner pre-empts Obama’s SOTU…… (yes, that is horribly inappropriate)…. just saying
Yep!
So, I’m watching the “live feed” of the Sheriffs aggressively searching vehicles at a roadblock with their firearms drawn… lots of unsafe firearms handling going on there. I know you’re looking for a bad guy, but you’ve already shot 3 innocent civilians by mistake –
Then we talk about “not giving nuts attention” and here are news choppers all over the mountain.
And a few minutes ago, someone mentioned that the police were telling the media to pull back and stay out of the way and 3 different reporters on my Facebook page are posting pics of their live trucks racing each other to the scene.
If they find Dorner dead from a gunshot in the cabin, I want to know where George Zimmerman was at the time.
Is there still time to get him to SOTU address?
In whose glory box shall we sit him ?
Sen Feinstein or Boxer’s? Nancy’s is full of gunshot victims already.
Maybe the best Republican response to the SOTU speech would be to read the portions of Dorner’s manifesto where he praises Obama and Piers Morgan.
There is a rumor going around now that the police set the fires, in particular they broadcast this over the scanner. crazies
I wouldn’t say they deliberately set the fire but firing teargas canisters into a building has been known to start fires.
I’m hoping they get fast confirmation that it is in fact Dorner’s body they pulled out of the cabin. Pickup truck owners all over southern California will breathe a sigh of relief.
No killer gets taken down harder by cops than a cop killer. Fine by me.
I’m glad Dorner is dead. I hope he didn’t die quickly.
Breaking News: Spokespersons for Harvard, Yale, and Northwestern University expressed regret at news of Dorner’s death: “We were all hoping to offer him a full professorship.”
NPR had intended to ask Dorner a lucrative contract to do a weekly show titled “Live from Death Row in Amerikkka”.
Of course he was a hero of the Left. He recognized corruption in his midst. He sought to correct it when he was personally injured. He proposed this as justification for murdering people. His outrage was selective and did not extend beyond himself. He was an uncompromising supporter of Obama. Some corruption, apparently, is considered to be “good” corruption.
Fatso The Killer Has not been found – dead or alive.
He might still be crackling up inside the burning cabin . It is too dangerous for police to enter because of all that fat spurting out like a geyser .
Hey I got me some marshmallows. I got me a BBQ. I am with you in empathy all law enforcement guys out there. Good luck €& wear hazmat suits. I am guessing HIV .
2306 Eastern: LAPD denies report of body found:

I notice the quoted reports were from the LA Times.
If there is any one outlet Iwould not trust in this racial & highly political drama , it would be the LATimes.
As of 12.30 eastern. – it is all fu*kin bullshit.
Just missed your post Norris.
