Chris Dorner Dead? Likely

Impact

Christopher Dorner is likely dead after authorities claim to have cornered him in a cabin at Big Bear Lake, California, ending a nearly six-day-long rampage which resulted in at least four deaths and the injury of at least three others.

Dorner is reportedly trapped in a cabin in the area after engaging in a shootout with Fish & Game officers, killing one and severely wounding another whose status is unclear. Ammunition supplies stored within the cabin apparently exploded, whether due to the authorities' deployment of tear gas or other reasons.

Authorities say Dorner is trapped inside, and have not approached the cabin due to the risk of death and injury from the fire.
