HOT: Dorner Holding Hostages

Developing:

UPDATE 1: CNN is reporting that fugitive ex-cop Cristopher Dorner is surrounded in a cabin in Big Bear and has hostages.

NOTE: No other confirmation.

UPDATE 2:

There were no hostages.

Multiple reports Dorner found burnt and dead inside cabin.

UPDATE 3:

CNN now reports:
Los Angeles police and the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office moved Tuesday night to counter widespread reports that a body believed to be that of renegade ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Jordan Dorner had been recovered from a burning cabin near Big Bear Lake, California.

"No body has been pulled out," LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said at a news conference. "No reports of a body being ID'd are true."
The cabin area was "too hot to make entry," Smith added.

Cindy Bachman, a spokeswoman for the lead agency in the case, the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department echoed that, saying at a separate news conference that authorities believe whoever was in the cabin never left.
"They believe that there is a body in there, but it is not safe to go inside," she told reporters. She added that officials believed there was still live ammunition in the cabin, which was still smoldering.
CNN and other media quoted numerous sources earlier in the evening as saying authorities had removed a body from the rubble of the fire and identified it as Dorner.

  4. I was going to predict (God I wish I had)
    "non-lethal" flash bang tear gas grenades light cabin on fire.
    Dorner AND the innocent hostages burn alive and die horribly.
    No messy testimony from Dorner. Gee, too bad the innocent hostages fried too.
    Same since Patty Hearst and the Symbionese Liberation Army.
    Same script every time.

  5. and yet no one is asking, why the hell is the police lighting random cabins on fire if they can't even confirm he's in there.
