Charred human remains have been found in the burned cabin where police believe fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner was holed up after trading gunfire with law enforcement, authorities said.
If the body is identified to be Dorner’s, the standoff would end a weeklong manhunt for the ex-LAPD officer and Navy Reserve lieutenant who is believed to be responsible for a string of revenge-fueled shootings following his firing by the Los Angeles Police Department several years ago. Four people have died, allegedly at Dorner’s hands.
The last burst of gunfire Tuesday came after the suspect, attempting to flee law enforcement officials, shot to death a San Bernardino County sheriff’s deputy and seriously injured another, officials said. He then barricaded himself in a wooden cabin outside Big Bear, not far from ski resorts in the snow-capped San Bernardino Mountains east of Los Angeles, according to police.
Just before 5 p.m., authorities smashed the cabin's windows, pumped in tear gas and called for the suspect to surrender. They got no response. Then, using a demolition vehicle, they tore down the cabin's walls one by one. When they reached the last wall, they heard a gunshot, officials said, and then the cabin burst into flames.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said he would not consider the manhunt over until a body was identified as Dorner.

and the number of people here who were cheering the LEO taking justice into their own incompetent hands.
And the devil said to him, WELL DONE! ;-D
The law has no guarantees of success and cannot protect us from animals like this. The last thing we need is people like him becoming folk heroes while they sit in a prison cell (if they don’t escape) laughing at “the law”.
Kill ‘em. Anyway, he wanted to die. Why argue with him? Think of it as suicide.
lol
Nice shot!
Denzel’s too old, now.........

"I'd hit it."
I win.
There is still a shitepot full of OT to be used up and at least temporarily the dogs in SoCal are safer and the donut shops are booming.
Whose cabin did they decide to burn to the ground?
Same here.
It is entirely possible that both are correct.........
