SEVEN OAKS (CBSLA.com) — The cabin quadruple-murder suspect Christopher Dorner is believed to be holed up in is now fully engulfed in flames, according to CBS2′s Carter Evans, who also reported that tear gas was fired into the house before the fire broke out.
A shot was also fired around that time, and sources tell CBS2′s Juan Fernandez that tracks were found leading to a horse corral, which may mean Dorner was able to escape.
LAPD Cmdr. Andy Smith Tuesday urged Dorner to turn himself in as a gun battle and barricade situation raged on in San Bernardino County.
“Enough is enough. It’s time to turn yourself in. End the bloodshed,” Smith said, adding that Dorner, who allegedly shot and killed his fourth victim — a San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputy — Tuesday afternoon, was holed up in a Seven Oaks cabin. The home, ironically, is located near the Sheriff’s outpost that was set up earlier this week as part of the search for him.
Dormer is also accused of shooting a second deputy, who was undergoing surgery after being airlifted to Loma Linda University Medical Center. Smith, who says Dorner likely has access to television and other media outlets, requested that media helicopters pull out of the area.
The San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office also asked that reporters in the area to refrain from tweeting about the ongoing situation.
The sheriff has asked all members of the press to stop tweeting immediately. It is hindering officer safety. #Dorner—

Dorner reportedly broke into a couple’s home and tied them up — possibly days ago — before stealing their vehicle and fleeing the scene Tuesday afternoon.
He was spotted by authorities around 1:30 p.m. and repeated gunshots were exchanged on Glass Road. KCAL9′s Carter Evans, who was reporting nearby, is safe despite loud gunfire that could be heard during his live report.
Dorner then fled into a forested area and barricaded himself in a cabin. A SWAT team was also called in to set up a perimeter around the area.
KCAL9 has pre-empted Obama!
Love how this is upstaging the SOTU — if Obama had a son when he was twenty, he’d look like Dorner.
Since this guy is a hero of the left maybe they cold give him his own TV show.
He could call it “Cooking with Dorner”.
If there are children or dogs near to hand, they will be tossed into the flames. According to Janet Reno, that part's in the rule book: ya gotta do it.
They have his body...He’s dead Jim.
Havn't heard that reported on the TV coverage.
One or two actually made it out by wriggling out the crawl space. Tried to shoot their way out. Unsuccessfully.
That would be Travon Martin Dorner!
The crispy critter has been burnt to a crisp..he wont be missed..burn in hell scumbag
The cops wanted to enter the house guns blazing, but there were no dogs present.
KTLA5 doing the same. Said they will stream the liar on the internet if you want to watch it.
Has anyone seen Janet Reno with a gas can?????
Waco West?
Oh, there’s no way they wanted him taken alive.
Good. Hope no more innocents will be found dead. People can disagree with the LAPD and their usual procedures all they like, but those innocent people whom Drmer killed had nothing to do with that, and it makes Dorner a coward for kiling them.
The left gets a taste of Rubie Ridge and Wacko.
This is a case where I hope the guy is well done.
