"I'm watching it live. Hope you don't mind all the updates.

Lots of active gunfire right now.

Reporter, Carter Evans, is caught in the crossfire.

Update: He hasn't heard a report of any officers down but due to the way the officers are behaving, he believes there are injuries. He's hiding in a civillian car. Officers are asking him to leave.

Update 2: Authorities are honing in on a cabin close by, lots more active gunfire and screaming heard.

Update 3: Absolutely fascinating. Authorities are yelling at the reporter, telling to get out amid sounds of massive gunfire. Heard one officer say, "Get the *Removed* outta here, pal!" Live, unedited.

Update 4: No reporting, just sounds of a massive gun battle.

Update 5: Just heard someone yell, "Did you get him?" and "Get the *Removed* down!"

Update 7: Lots of screaming and yelling, gunfire has slowed down.

Update 8: Confirmed. Two officers are down.

Update 9: Christopher Dorner is not in custody (at least they're reporting he isn't). They must have removed the reporter because the gunfire has completely died down.

Update 10: Reporters are sequestered at the road block. They are not sure how badly the two deputies are injured.

Press Conference with San Bernadino Police Department:

At 12:25 vehicle was reported stolen, suspect matched Christopher Dorner, units surrounded the area. Vehicle was located and had been abandoned. Suspect barricaded himself in a nearby cabin and started a massive gunfight. Second deputy shot is expected to survive. Authorities say there was no one else in the cabin. There has been no other gunfire since the cabin fire began. Dorner could possibly be on the loose.

Update 46: Fire continues to burn but is contained, it's unlikely it will spread to the surrounding forest.

Update 47: Media is only allowed to the last checkpoint. Have not received the "all-clear" signal. Authorities at the checkpoint are still very much at the ready. More fire trucks are allowed near the area.

Update 48: Confirmed gunshot from the cabin moments before it caught on fire. Speculating that it could have been Chris Dorner committing suicide.

Update 49: Portable lights and air support have been brought in. (5:18)

I assume that was the helicopters I heard earlier.

Update 50: Redditor Avista has given this tip from the twitter feed of an East Texas news site: Chris Dorner Has Been Shot By Sniper Local news is not reporting it, however.

Update 53: CONFIRMED Christopher Dorner never left the cabin.

Update 54: Cabin was a rental. Two cleaning ladies were tied up earlier in the day and released by Christopher Dorner, before he hijacked the truck.

Sorry everyone but I have to take a little break and make dinner for my kids. I will keep the news on, however, and continue to update as the night progresses. Thanks again for all the compliments, the freakin' awesome and unexpected reddit gold and for the tips.

Wait! Update 56: Protection detail by LAPD will remain in effect until confirmation that Christopher Dorner has been killed.

Update 57: Highly likely that Christopher Dorner was in the cabin when it was set ablaze. Also reporting that officers are saying this is HIGHLY LIKELY to be over.
