Dorner died of self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, authorities say

San Bernardino County (Calif.) Sheriff's Department officials describe the series of events that led up to their armed confrontation with Christopher Dorner.

Christopher Dorner, the former LAPD police officer who carried out a vengeful rampage against his fellow ex-cops and others, died of a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at the end of an intense firefight with police in rural Big Bear, Calif., authorities said Friday.


At a late-afternoon news conference, San Bernardino County authorities said that the cause of death was determined by an autopsy conducted Thursday by the county Coroner’s Office.

Authorities had been unsure whether Dorner killed himself, had been struck by a deputy's bullet or had died in a fire that engulfed the cabin during the shootout. The coroner's finding still must be finalized.


In their most detailed account to date of the final days and hours of the hunt for Dorner, 33, San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials said they tried to force the suspect to surrender before accidentally setting the cabin where he was holed up on fire when they shot a pyrotechnic chemical device inside.

Sheriff John McMahon also detailed the extent of the arsenal that Dorner had with him in his final days, which he spent eluding searchers in the mountainous area east of Los Angeles.  Among the items recovered from the cabin where Dorner died and other locations and vehicles were numerous assault weapons; semiautomatic handguns; a .308-caliber, bolt-action sniper rifle; high-capacity ammunition magazines; a total of 10 suppressors or silencers; tear gas and smoke canisters; a military-style load-bearing vest; and a military-style Kevlar helmet, he said.

The sheriff also confirmed that Dorner spent most of his time on the run hiding in a condominium just steps away from the command center set up to find him. He said deputies had visited the unit, which was locked, on the evening of Feb. 7, but received no answer when they knocked on the door and then moved on.

“It was locked and nobody answered,” he said. “… We were not going to kick the doors in.”

Sheriff’s Capt. Gregg Herbert also elaborated on the tactics used during the confrontation with Dorner at the cabin in the Seven Oaks area, saying that when deputies responded to the scene they noticed tracks in the snow in front of the cabin where Dorner had taken refuge.  As Deputy Alex Collins, Detective Jeremiah Mackay and other officers were conversing in the street in an attempt to devise a plan to check on the cabin, Dorner opened fire on them, striking both deputies multiple times, Hebert said. The other deputies returned fire, and dodged an onslaught of bullets to get to the injured officers and drag them out of the line of fire, he said.

MacKay died later at an area hospital; Collins remains hospitalized after undergoing multiple surgeries. Dorner died hours later inside the cabin, after he and law enforcement officers exchanged hundreds of rounds.

Police had been seeking Dorner since last week, when they say he launched a deadly revenge campaign against the Los Angeles Police Department over his 2009 firing.

Police chief named in manifesto recalls 'the Chris Dorner that I knew'

 Before launching his onslaught, he posted a rambling 1,400-word manifesto on Facebook in which he allegedly wrote that killing was “a necessary evil” to avenge his firing  and also threatened other law enforcement officers and their families.

Before killing the deputy in the San Bernardino mountains, Dorner is suspected of slaying a couple in Irvine and a police officer in Riverside.

“Self Preservation is no longer important to me,” he wrote in the manifesto, a copy of which was made available to the media by authorities. “I do not fear death as I died long ago on 1/2/09.”

Well when you try to rat out the corrupted law enforcement officers, and they start their attacks against you? what else is their to do. You all claim he killed innocent people, how do we know? Because the same cops he revealed to be criminals said so? Not defending him, just playing devil's advocate. Plus, with his training, I highly doubt hes dead. I do believe they did that to end it before the SOTU, and to end the humiliation of the fact that they couldnt stop one man... We shall see. Plus, when the cops were caught on record (which msnbc and fox news or any mainstream news would never air), they were caught saying just burn the house down. You amy not agree with him, but a few things were made obvious:

They cared not for Due Process

They cared not for Constitutional right to be tried by jury of his peers, WITH ALL factual evidence presented.

Was the first American on US Soil to be authorized to be killed by drone strike if spotted (we see how well those go overseas, 1200 children dead and counting).

Regardless if he was a criminal, our judicial system has shown they do not care for the law, they swore to uphold. We do not know EVERYTHING that transpired here, we do not know if this is the real story, what I do know is, we a re told one thing and are expected to believe it. Not calling him a hero, or a criminal, again, Devil's Advocate. He should have been brought to a court with a jury of his PEERS, in a public forum, so he could reveal his side, and WHY he did what he did..

To add more evidence to this, what about the cops who fired on innocent people due to mistaken identity, where is the investigation and criminal charges into that? the 41 and 71 year old hispanic women cretainly did not meet this description, and if his truck had burned, why were they still looking for it?

What you mean is a miserably failed police officer who lied about a female supervisor to try and cover his own mistakes like the tiny little man he was, who murdered a completely innocent couple that included a young black man who was the success this loser never could be and two good police officers and who didn't even have the brains to get to mexico where every creep and his brother (of every nationality) has successfully fled.

So have soldiers, police, homicidal maniacs, psychopaths, etc... people who completely lack fear. That makes him a murderer nothing more.

I do, and will give my life to defend those rights, no amtter if the other person deserves them or not, why, because I SWORE TO. Glad you can defend him when the LAPD have proven they are capable of wrose crimes. If you do believe what MSNBC has told you, then go back to the barn, sheep. But open your mind to the possibility that we are not being told the full story... there are three sides to everything, Side A, Side B, then the truth. Usually, places like msnbc or fox news or cnn, have Side A or Side B. Never both or the truth. Hence why I mostly just troll these pages to get people to use some critical thinking.

REALLY? You are a bold faced liar! You STAND FOR NOTHING!!! Donser murdered the people who DEFENDED HIM, HE LOST!! He also had a lawyer, If he was so righteous then why didn't he sue? His actions PROVE HIS CHARACTER!!! and YOUR WORDS PROVE YOURS!!!!! It sounds like you have been caught by the police yourself, bitterness is NOT the result of righteousness!! Your statements are pure slander, it just shows your anti-government, anti police rhetoric.

Bold faced liar? Have you not seen the track record of some of our law enforcement? Anti government? Maybe, because they seem to ruin everything they touch. They do not tell the truth, and will do anything for their own profits. Im not slandering anyone, I just have an open mind. My county sheriffs, Damn proud of them. Why? Because they arent giving in to the gun control crap congress is trying to pass (IE they are going to refuse any orders of confiscation). Ive never been caught by police, because I am law abiding. I follow the law. Part time I am even helping law enforcement track down criminals with my computer skills. You do not know me, so you sir I accuse of slander. Hypocrasy at its finest, i think? I am not bitter, I just learned long ago to be capable of critical thinking and do my own research, ask questions. Apparently, you sir, have not. I wish you luck in the future. Glad you can also defend the LAPD shooting 2 unarmed elderly women, because they obviously looked like Chris Dorner..

Dorner may not have been treated fairly in his firing by the LAPD. But that did not give him license to kill innocent people, except under the most perverse interpretation of the Second Amendment which, unfortunately, some gun nuts have been advocating.

If he killed ONE person he named in his manifesto, I could consider him dedicated. He did not. He took the "opportunistic" approach, which labels him a coward. He did not have the dedication to his own words, and decided to take the easiest course of action, innocent, unsuspecting victims. If you cannot stand behind your own words, they mean nothing.

Ssimmons, why do you say they denied him due process and Constitutional right to trial? He could have turned himself in. He knew that he was going to die because he set it up that way. He made sure he wasn't captured and did not turn himself in. It could have been done. He could have set it up through another agency, but he didn't even try because that is not what he wanted. And I used to also wonder if he really killed the couple or not. But considering everything that I have seen and all the evidence there seems to be, it looks like he did indeed kill the INNOCENT couple. Supposedly, he even taunted the father (ex-police chief Quan, the man who had defended him during the inquiry) about it. I know he thought Quan didn't fight for him but even Quan said that he felt Dorner got a bad deal and that it was a Kangaroo Court. So, maybe Quan really did try to help him. Still, Dorner killed his daughter and her fiance. That is really horrible. There is NO EXCUSE for killing innocent people.

It was tear gas--NOT pyrotechnics. Tear gas is notorious for starting fires if there is any open flame or sparks (short in the electricity or even a gun shot where the gas is will set it off). I do believe the fire was accidental. Dorner had shot himself anyway. Maybe that shot is what set off the fire with the tear gas.

I missed something in the Dorner case!

When was Dorner tried and convicted by the police?

I got that Dorner was a suspect, and the police shooting innocent bystanders in the manhunt of this accused killer, to Dorner being cornered and having the option of suicide or burn to death.

I missed the part where the right to a jury trial, the truth comes out!

It must be nice to live in a world where government never can be wrong.

Now turn over your guns to the cure all government like a good clone!

Just hope after doing such you are not accused of a crime or are a innocent bystander shot by the cure all police by mistaken identity.

Of course San Bernardino sheriffs department claims they had no other way of capturing Dorner other than to burn him out.It wasn't their home or Dorner's home so what did they care.and of course the coroner is going to say he died from a self inflicted gunshot wound.I think that the feds should have brought in a coroner and did a compete investigation from the start of the shoot out in Torrance.

Then, understand, who can he turn himself into when he was trying to expose corruption in law enforcement? they woulda probably shot him and said he had a gun... Fact is, who would help him, when everyone trusts law enforcement's word over a regular citizen anyways... Law enforcement are men too, the uniform doesnt change the mindset... fact is had he tried to turn himself in, how trigger happy LAPD has shown themselves to be, he woulda been killed...

"A San Bernardino County sheriff’s officials said they tried to force the suspect to surrender before accidentally setting the cabin where he was holed up on fire when they shot a pyrotechnic chemical device inside". (Emphasis added) - Really?

Here is the police audio yelling burn it down:

http://www.policeone.com/standoff/articles/6119022-Audio-Police-yell-burn-it-down-raiding-Dorners-hideaway/

"Authorities had been unsure whether Dorner killed himself, had been struck by a deputy's bullet or had died in a fire that engulfed the cabin during the shootout. The coroner's finding still must be finalized".

We will never know the truth. There are two sides to every story, and the other side didn't survive to tell his. We see how it went for him the first time around. It is just sad, if indeed we are to believe the LAPD, that things went down the way it did.

When facing a DEADLY criminal, you USE DEADLY FORCE AGAINST DEADLY FORCE!!! , ITS COMMON SENSE in ALL police forces!!!! DONSER HAD 4 WHOLE DAYS TO GIVE HIMSELF UP PEACEFULLY!!! Donser stated himself he was goping to diein this, now he committed suicide like the coward he was. The brave men are the dead ones that tried to stop a psychopathic killer!! Like I stated before your own true nature and character comes out, Donser has shown his character, he was weak, so what you got picked on in grade 1, GET OVER IT!!! So what you lost your job, GET OVER IT!!!! Millions of others do every day without revenge, and if your statements Ssimmons tells us anything about your character, its you are a whiny, I-didnt-get-my-way, everyone-else-owes-me because my feelings were hurt weak-ass personality just like Donser!

Even IF what he said is found to be true and his dismissal was unfair and unjust that did NOT give him the right to start playing GOD! I don't care how corrupt his superiors are (IF they are) nothing that was done to him equaled what HE did to people that didn't even have a thing to do with his problems! When he took their lives, by all that's right, HE forfeited his!

Coward that he was he couldn't face what he did or face the families of those he EXECUTED in court! The only thing good he did was save California millions of dollars in a long drawn-out courtroom drama.. Good riddance!

JANINE: The tear gas used was Pyrotechnic teargas. Simply put, the fired canisters produce enough heat to start fires. There were 7 "burners" as police call them fired into the building.

Tear "gas" is actually a solid powder (smoke)....it is not set off by sparks. It is the heat generated in the canister which causes the fire. Being a solid makes it more persistant than if it was an actual vapor. THE GAS SMOKE/POWDER DOES NOT ACTUALLY BURN OR EXPLODE.

As far as deliberate vs accidental fire....the idea of using hot teargas was to flush him out. I am no expert, but deploying 7 canisters in a wooden cabin would come with reasonable expectation that a fire will result.

If the gas didn't drive him out, the fire would...had to be in their minds. If he had come out in surrender mode, I BELIEVE they would have taken him into custody. I BELIEVE if he had flushed out and came out shooting....they would have turned him into swiss cheese.

As it was, Dorner ended his case on his own. Call it self-inflicted justice.

And for the morons debating whether he killed the girl and fiancee, or the sherrif in Riverside....I will give odds that ballistic testing of the weapons he had will probably produce a match.

We'll see.

He IS a COWARD. It doesn't matter what organizations he worked for. Just because he was a great marksman, doesn't mean anything. Of the 4 people he shot and killed, NONE were LAPD. So his elaberate plan didn't go as well as he planned, actually is seems like it didn't play out at all like he planned. So he runs to hide in the mountains, hides, then kills himself. If he was so proud of himself, then why did he kill himself if he wanted to "clear" his name? Maybe because he didn't have a case after all. He thought he would be so awesome to pick off the officers and families, but when he had the opportunity and his ass was in the fire (no pun intended), he wimps out. He had every chance to turn himself in and give up but he didn't. He spent the last few years planning to get back at the LAPD because he was fired. Boo Hoo. Pick your lip up and get another job. So what if his name was smeared in the security sector. There are other jobs out there. Walmart is always hiring.

Ken Trout -

Having hailed from Southern CA - born and raised - LAPD has never had a good reputation. Corruption has plagued them for years. And, yes, trigger happy has been part of their problem.

You don't consider the shooting of those by police officers as a "mistaken identity" to be dubbed trigger happy? Most people would! Grant it, they were running scared, but come on... they are supposed trained officers. Shoot first and ask questions later is okay with you? /shrugs.

Not to ordinary, unsuspecting, citizens who are at risk and have been shot by these officers.

One of the ten safety rules of SAFE GUN HANDLING: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT - And I am NOT a trained officer - rather a citizen who happens to be a gun owner, and I know that much.

    What did we all learn from this?...besides that the AP and MSNBC were absent the day they taught journalism in journalism school....

    We have learned that a disgruntled government employee took revenge...he had motive but was indeed wrong.

    He did expose the LAPD to what appears to be their total disregard for peoples constitutional rights. Three innocent people being shot or shot at without warning by the LADP supports this.

    The burning of the cabin is nothing more than a summary execution.

    The journalism in this article is terrible. I like the part where they went-out-of-their-way to explain what a flash suppressor is...although it is totally inaccurate I like how it was slanted. Flash suppressors have nothing to do whatsoever with suppressing sounds of a firearm...even a so-called assault rifle.

    Condemning man dead or alive is wrong when all the facts are not present. As highly inaccurate as the PR has been from the LAPD, I would not believe one word that come forth from them.

      Well when you try to rat out the corrupted law enforcement officers, and they start their attacks against you? what else is their to do.

      Are you suggesting we should take the law into our own hands? If we all did what Dorner did when wronged, this country would degenerate into anarchy over night.

      We all know the LAPD and the police in other cities have corrupt officers and administration. The way to solve that is not to gather an arsenal and write a manifesto. It is not to draw up a 'hit list' and murder innocent people.

      Dorner went postal. If you cannot figure out how else he could have gone about addressing his grievances, all I can say is that you and others who feel as you do are too immature and unstable to own a gun.

      The sheriff also confirmed that Dorner spent most of his time on the run hiding in a condominium just steps away from the command center set up to find him. He said deputies had visited the unit, which was locked, on the evening of Feb. 7, but received no answer when they knocked on the door and then moved on.

      Is it just me, or does this remind anyone else of that scene from Star Wars Episode IV? You know - the scene on Tatooine where the stormtroopers are looking for C3P0 and R2D2. They knock on the door, try to open it, and then the one trooper says, "This one's locked. Let's move on." (or something to that effect).

      @Renee - Northern CA, & Ssimmons117,

      Please try and forgive Ken Trout as it is Newsvines resident Court Jester. It's not that Ken is ignorant. Ken just happens to be a slow learner NO learner thats all. It's not really his fault though as Ken doesn't have any family and friends (that are like family) actually involved in Psychology (Mom is a Recovering Lawyer turned Practicing Psychologist), Law Enforcement, Retired Judge, Military (Marines, Army, Navy & RCAF then RCMP) to learn from. Since he is lacking in all of these helpful areas he relies on the government for all his info. What could go wrong there? ;) Our politicians are pure as fresh snowfall, honest (as Lance Armstrong), law abiding (sorry Constitution), Hard Working (my nose is growing and it won't stop), Reliable (as a Yugo maybe), Selfless (they take all of that Lobbyist money ONLY so we don't have to worry about their future) and full of Common Sense (I stepped in some cleaning a horses stall just the other day) - LOLZZZ

      @kaybeetoys,

      "If you cannot figure out how else he could have gone about addressing his grievances, all I can say is that you and others who feel as you do are too immature and unstable to own a gun."

      So says Minnie Mouse............... ;) Seriously though in theory you are correct in reality it just isn't that easy. Good Cops often give up and "Go with the flow" because the Bad ones manage to get in a position of power, influence or using the tight little click method. I'm not going to repost everything that I have learned from MY family (that have lived it) about this subject. If you wish see previous posts.

      I will re-post that when (or if - though personally I find it unlikely that the LAPD would go so low as to be involved in this ) Mr. Dorner killed innocent family members just to hurt those that did him wrong he crossed a line that there is no going back from.

      Regards,

      Brandon

      Obviously Dorner snapped and took innocent lives. When some people started saying his case should be "re-opened," I thought it was a waste of time. I thought he was just another dangerous nut case, that is UNTIL I read his complete manifesto. It was not just a "rambling" document as the news media reported. He actually seemed to have a legitimate gripe against the LAPD, and he DID NOT blame all law enforcement agencies, or the government, or the military. He was proud of his service and proud to be an American, but due to what he perceived to be a long list of unjustices that ruined his life and career, he fell into deep depression and mental breakdown.

      I DO NOT condone his killing of innocent people, but I recommend everyone read what this man had to say in his final letter to the world. Some of it rings true, and is very sad, indeed.

        a SAD event in the whole situation. you don't kill a cop, we all know that. the chain of events just don't add up though. why was a person that served his Country & belonged to a Police Union that perhaps would have represented him go wacko?

        It was tear gas--NOT pyrotechnics. Tear gas is notorious for starting fires if there is any open flame or sparks (short in the electricity or even a gun shot where the gas is will set it off). I do believe the fire was accidental.

        BullShlt You need to listen to the audio from the police scanners. They said they are going forward with the plan to set of "burners" and deployed atleast 7 to 10 of them. They used pyrotecnic tear gas which is a big diff from what you are talking about. There is also audio of another cop yelling over scanner that they are going the effing burn him out. MSM is not going to report this, you can here the audio on democracynow.org along with many other non MSM sites. This is not just folks saying this, this is actual police audio so stop your lying. Also I advice you avoid that koolaid you are drinking

        MALE VOICE: All right, Steve, we’re going to go—we’re going to go forward with the plan, with—with the burner.

        MALE VOICE: We want it, uh, like we talked about.

        MALE VOICE: Seven of the burners deployed, and we have a fire.

        FEMALE VOICE: Copy. Seven burners deployed, and we have a fire.

        JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Police say the phrase "burner" referred to a grenade-like canister containing flammable tear gas. In another recording that was aired live on the TV station KCAL, a police officer can be heard in the background shouting, "We’re going to burn him out," and "Burn it down."

        KCAL REPORTER: We do know that authorities were searching for a man in a Dodge pickup truck.

        POLICE OFFICER: The last location of the suspect [inaudible].

        POLICE OFFICER: We’re going to [bleep] burn him out!"

        POLICE OFFICER: [inaudible] I don’t know.

        POLICE OFFICER: Let’s burn it down.

        POLICE OFFICER: Get going, right now!

        POLICE OFFICER: Burn this [bleep]!

        betcha, the bullet in his head and the burning of the cabin was by the police, not by dorner, now they don't pay a reward nor does he get to go to trial and maybe rat out some more corruption. and no need to investigate that stuff that got him fired, i am not saying this man was right, if he did actually kill those ppl, but now everything will cool down and basically be forgotton and no more guilty will have to pay.

          It was either that, walk out into a hail of gunfire, or burn to death. The Sheriff's Dept. wasn't taking any prisoners that day from that cabin. I really don't see how that Sheriff could stand in front of all those cameras and state that they didn't purposely burn that shack down. Talk about being FOS (full of @!$%#); I admit that was some over-the top stuff Dorner was putting down over being railroaded out of the force, but trial by fire?

What a role model, he stated that he was going to avenge his betrayal by law enforcement by murdering the ones that wronged him, yet he did not kill any of them. Lack of commitment. Could not even do his self- appointed job correctly. Bum. Do you smell that, oh wait, it's a piece of self- indulgent garbage, burning.

          The women in the truck has the right & should sue the City and The LAPD for almost killing them, but the reward should go to the couple who stumbled in on Dorner sleep in their cabin. I can think of a million reasons why running into Chris Dorner was probably the best thing that happened to them in a long time.

            Dorner's brain was obviously not running not running on all cylinders. As I stated above, there is absulutly nothing that justifies what this man did, which it sounds like you are attempting to do with your conspiracy theory. A single gunshot with the weapon pressed firmly agaist the side of the head will in fact muffle the sound! The fire was set by Dorner himself as a premeditated act. Yes the LAPD made mistakes. I will not deny that, but you are obviously not taking into account the intensity of their feelings. Dorner had just recently murdered fellow police officers in cold blood! How did his wallet and ID get into the cabin? Use your head for something besides a counterweight! I carry my wallet and ID around with me, and I have other forms of ID as well, do you? Sounds like one of the people missing points is yourself!

              #2.26 - Wed Feb 20, 2013 4:56 PM EST

              Dorner did not commit suicide no more than Marilyn Monroe overdosed!!! He knew too much and needed him dead.

              Too many cops shooting innocent people. Like the girl that just died at Walmart for stealing lip Gloss. Shot in the neck. Her 2 girlfriends watched her drown in Blood flowing from her mouth as they drove to safety. Loose screw cops the country is riddled with them. 90% are great guy's it's the 10% that are Rattle Snakes. Like Priest's and Foot Ball coaches and Scout Leaders it's the 10% that poisons the bushel.

                  Champion and martyr...Just like the terrorist suicide bomber who kills innocent people.

                  According to Mary Ellen O'Toole, a retired FBI profiler:

                  Dorner's aggressive and self-aggrandizing rant indicates a classic case of malignant narcissist personality disorder.Some people with this disrder are extremely thin-skinned and vengeful. They may seem insecure, but in reality their rages and even tears are extreeme reactions to real or imagined critisisms because they have such grandiose visions of themselves. He is putting in his Manifesto that he is going to use all the training as an LAPD officer and as a military officer to basically hold Southern California hostage. Is he deadly? Yes. But is he capable of taking on some 1,000 officers looking for him? That's someone with a personality disorder.

                  OK, that was a rehash of an old National Lampoon joke. Killing unsuspecting cops and the daughter of the guy he thought screwed him is heinous. But, having read every word of his manifesto, my opinion (which, coupled with 46 cents, will allow you to mail a first-class letter anywhere in the US) is that this was an intelligent, dedicated guy who was convinced he was screwed, and screwed hard. I can't condone what he did - but I get the rage. Other ex-LA cops have come forward with disturbingly similar stories. Time for a REAL housecleaning.

                      Do you guys smell that? It smells like disgrace. No, it smells like dishonor. Oh wait, that is just Dorner's corpse, easy to make those mistakes...

                      I wish we could hear his side of the story. He only had it in for the police

                      dept. To bad he didnt leave a log book or diary behind I really do not believe he

                      shot himself. What were the screams we heard on the news of someone pushing

                      him back into the burning house will the truth ever surface.

                        Deliala - read his Manifesto ( A manifesto is a published verbal declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group) It pretty much speaks for itself.

                          Then why did he kill people who were not police? Hello logic, meet holes...

                            Jack,

                            The cowards were the ones who were so terrified of Doner they shot up everything that moved.

                            The cowards were the ones who were so terrified they used an armored battering ram and seven canisters of burners to set the cabin on fire, rather than send in a swat team that wanted no part of Dorner..........And the BS the cabin fire was an accident, is just that, B*llsh!t

                            I am not saying Doner did not deserve what he got, I am saying the whole manhunt was conducted in a cowardly, unprofessional and irrational manner

                            Dorner is only ACCUSED of those crimes. You don't think the cops would start a manhunt like this without fabricating some justification first, do you?
                            Let's see, a decorated war veteran joins the force, sees how corrupt it is, tries to "blow the whistle" through the system, gets fired for it, threatens to take his information public, and BAM! suddenly he's on a killing spree. Something about this "story" stinks.

                            1400-word or 11,000+word manifesto? I know the one I read was much longer than 1400 words. Details are quite important in journalism.

                            JB - speaking of journalism - the title of this article states :

                            "Dorner died of self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, authorities say"

                            But then the articles goes on to say:

                            Authorities had been unsure whether Dorner killed himself, had been struck by a deputy's bullet or had died in a fire that engulfed the cabin during the shootout. The coroner's finding still must be finalized. (Italics and emphasis added)

                            Everyone should. Those who welcome killing on any side are either psychotic or fools.

                            Saying things like "he got what he deserved" is just what is wrong with this country, a complete lack of empathy. Not caring about whether the fellow man was innocent or not, just as long as they perceive the "bad guys" are dead so they can revel in the killing.

                            Some deserve to die, but you need not enjoy it.

                            I still wonder if he shot himself AFTER he tried to run out the door but another policeman pushed him back INTO the burning building. If so, he shot himself to avoid being burned alive when he should have been taken into custody.

                            Cassandra--you must be either 14 or just plain heartless. You are over-vigilant, even paranoid about how this nasty murderer met his end, but don't express one ounce of sympathy about his six innocent victims, two of whom he'd killed just an hour before. What about their rights? Sometimes folks like you pretend to be so moral that they actually seem to lack morals.

                              Actually I think she is quite right! 14 or not....LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL...not just some we deem as innocent, how do we know the cop killed in the mountains was not about to hire someone to kill his own wife the very next day? INNOCENT is something NO ONE is....how do we know he was not fired and made to look bad only because he was about to blow the whistle on some corruption. COPS, JUDGES, LAWYERS, DOCTORS, DRUG DEALERS, CONVICTS....every single one of them as well as us are just human beings, we make mistakes, some we get away with, lie about to get away with, some we can not live with the guilt so we come clean...maybe an officer will come clean and say he was in fact pushed back in, you kill a cop, you get killed...happens quite often in my opinion.

                              killing 4 people was dorners decision, he CHOSE to do that, these people had nothing to do with his problem . so if the LAPD was not taking prisoners, thats ok dorner brought this sh@t down on himself.

                              should have hired a lawyer and sued the LAPD if he was wrongly fired. did him no good now did it?

                              he and 4 people would be alive today had he chose the correct way to go about things. he got as good as he gave. it's his own damn fault he is dead, nothing more and nothing less.

                                It is easy to tell which on this vine are cops by the way the have condemned Doner and defend police tactics even before all the evidence is in. Most inter-city cops today act more like vigilantes and could care less about due process. I read everyday where a cop kills someone because they thought he was reaching for a weapon, he did not have, or was approaching in a threatening manner. And this is why fewer and fewer people respect and trust inter-city cops especially. And I think it is mostly because of the method of training.

                                Kilroy, ...How many have the finances to fight the establishment, and how many succeed ? You talk BS my friend.

                                so ellis the killing of four people is justified because there are some bad cops????? so dorner taking the lives of four people and taking the law into his own hands is right? these people were NOT putting his life in danger, HE WAS, he ambushed the first four people he shot, and shot the other two , because..........................wait for it.........he was gonna get arrested for shooting the first four. and then shot himself because he did not want to go to jail. if it was your family members he killed i bet you would have him brought in dead or alive. he choose to take the dead route. and again just like the 6 people he shot , and himself, HIS DECISION. HE should be held accountable, and he was . now it's done.

                                  To me, it looks like there more than one cold blooded killer involved here. Lucky for the newspaper delivery ladies and the surfer the cops were not better shots.

                                        They never even told him one time to drop his weapons & come out with his hands behind his head. They shot him back in when he tried to come out the back door after they set the cabin on fire thru the front door.

                                        They didn't need to tell him to drop his weapon(s) and come out with his hands up. Being an ex-cop, he would know to do that. He was a dead scum walking.

                                        "Authorities say fugitive former cop Christopher Dorner died of a single gunshot wound to the head as authorities were pumping tear gas into a mountain cabin during a deadly gun battle with sheriff's deputies.".

                                        www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2279511/BREAKING-Fugitive-ex-cop-Christopher-Dorner-died-gunshot-wound-head--self-inflicted.html

                                        That is not true. They were throwing tear gas in for quite awhile, it was around 20 minutes after they started the 7 Burners and the place was fully engulfed and he ran down to the basement that he killed himself. They are not being truthful about the wounds either, he had at least one other before he killed himself and they acknowledge that on the scanner tape.

                                        Instead of trying to glamorize this murderer, why don't reflect on how you would react to his situation?

                                        If it involves killing innocent people, you should seek professional help.

                                        Zhovti,

                                        I never have defended what he did, however I do like accuracy. There have been a couple places where the police were not truthful, then there have been places when this happened where the media over reacted.

                                        If reporting the story as it came down means I should seek professional help. You have a right to your opinion, however I listened to the whole thing on the police scanner, so I might know a thing or two about this. I also shared what was happening on Newsvine as it was happening, so it is time stamped, from when the fire actually started to the second single shot where he killed himself. If you would like the documentation. I can give it to you.

                                        Zhovti - How does facing the reality of the cops blatantly lying to the public "glamorize a murderer"? He said nothing except what happened.

                                        If your idea of "protecting and serving" is shooting up vehicles and burning cornered suspects, you do not belong in America, move to Russia.

                                        No one will ever know why Christopher Dorner exhibited such aberrant behavior and took so many lives. However, one thing rings true, why was he burned out? Saddening all the way around and for so many...

                                        Jerseyshore marie,

                                        "why are you using a uk news article as a source?." Fair question. Oddly they at times get the more accurate story then any of the USA news outlets. Over the past 32 years of researching historical events I have found one has to go several sources. If you go to Page 3 post #72 you will see I list several various places to go that I used while following this news event. Some are local News sources, some are national, some are in other countries like mailonline. There is not just one good reliable news source. To do ones homework is wise.

                                        Have a great day.

                                        Glamorous? Dorner did what he did because it was glamorous? Nobody joins the LAPD, the 34 double D drama queen of a culture representing unrepentant and intrenched corruption and violence, because it is glamorous. Getting a paycheck isn't glamorous, especially being an officer in the Navy, or the employee of a state that is bankrupt. To be tossed from the LAPD means only two things. One, that you are the biggest candy-a** that every walked the face of the earth or, two, you had it coming from birth. Some choices, in a country of the too big to fail, too big to jail, the Rule of Law is our way or the being burned alive in some two-bit cabin that this country has become. Dorner was dead before his first birthday.

                                            I agree joe s, and those two innocent ladies that got shot in the back should have had frag grenades to throw back at the shooters to protect themselves. People that have our permission to take lives, should be punished to the utmost when they abuse it. But, of course, you don't have anything to say about that!!

                                              Killed himself? Perhaps. Who knows? Expect anyone to really care at this point? Still. Take a long hard look around at this society. You've been raised on institutionalized illusions of what we do, how we arose as a nation, who we are, what the founders were all about, our values, what our political and economic systems are predicated upon, why we go to war, how "we" succeed here, et.al. The BS goes on and on and on. And not only do we accept it, we cheer it. Afterall, who has more access to shiny objects than us?!?

                                              Then we're all aghast at how things got so screwed up, and by God, we're gonna get back to how it was if we can just get rid of these damn politicians.

                                              Face it. We are what we are ... and we chose this When one of us snaps every once it a while and your govt has to put him down, who cares. Who's surprised. Look at it this way, it wasn't 20 some odd kids at a school this time. Maybe tomorrow.

                                              We're foamy-mouthed mad, violent to the core and armed-but-never-enough, start wars for no reason now, torture now, and drone-drop human life from miles away. We incarcerate more than anyone ever thought of and have made it a Wall Street traded industry. We blame the failings of our sinister brand of faux capitalism upon the impoverished and for all the blathering on about accountability, accountability always rests at the very bottom of the given food chain.

                                              But halleluiah we loves us some Jesus and damnit we're an exceptional shiny beacon on a hill.

                                              We got a glimpse of humanity under "a little" pressure and discomfort on a luxury cruise ship. I shudder to think how humanity will react in a real disaster. Limited food and water, a little fear and we've got complete chaos.

                                              no i think self inflicted means, in their minds, he brought it on himself.

                                              To simplify it for those who could not understand the big words he used: We Americans think that we are "the sh!t" when we are really just plain sh!t.

                                              People get fired from their jobs every day. Most don't go on a rant and then murder people. You pick up the pieces and move on. You're going to tell me this guy couldn't get another job in criminal investigation, or working undercover, or working for an attorney, or high-level security, or anything else law enforcement related? To label this guy a "champion and martyr" is beyond idiotic. What he is, thank goodness, is dead.

                                              Nobody gets to decide that a suspect will be killed on sight with no provocation either. Do you think think the two old women in the Tacoma threatened the police?

                                              There is a post by a military fire inspector where he said that even when the body is charred, where the body touches the ground or floor the clothes will still be intact & not burned. So in theory if his ID was in his back pocket & he was laying on the floor, the ID could still be readable even though the body is burnt beyond recognition.

                                                I'm still thinking he's alive. In his manifesto he asked to have his brain donated to science...so why shoot himself in the head. He's too skilled. LAPD already has egg onit's face. what's a little more. He'll surface again in a few months.

                                                      I mean he was probably tired from all that killing and kidnapping! The poor thing.

                                                      Maybe the police could give a warm blanket or a cup of soup to the women they shot for no reason?

                                                      I mean, they were probably tired from going about their business delivering newspapers! Poor things.

                                                              Dorner was nothing more than a coward, and he died like a coward by shooting himself in the head. The police had no choice but to let the cabin burn until they were sure the area was safe for the fire fighters to move in. Don't feel pity for this loser, he killed innocent people and ruined many lives. I think its fitting the way he died in a burning fire. Like the pits of hell where he belongs.

                                                              So is everyone who the police go on high-alert for and surround potential targets with dozens of bodyguards cowards? They were clearly terrified by they way they turned that Tacoma into swiss cheese despite it only having a couple of old women in it. Why are they so afraid of cowards?

                                                              maybe "desperate" and "shooting yourself in the head" sounds more realistic.

                                                              Of course if your just trying to reach the lowest common denominator......

                                                              When Hitler killed himself that was the act of a coward.

                                                              Chris Dorner? He simply wasn't giving the police the satisfaction of capuring him or killing him.

                                                              Coward became a very popular term as America's Most Wanted host John Walsh made it his catch phrase. A coward is a 5 foot 3 inch actor that puts 2 inches of newpaper in the bottoms of his shoes.

                                                              Really? You believe the story that he shot himself in the head? How did they know the bullet that killed them was one he fired? After they burned him to a crisp and shot his body a few hundred times to satisfy their egos, I would think it would be difficult to determine which gunshot killed him.

All he had to do at the first insertion of gas was to come out, unarmed, with his hands up and he would be alive today!! And don't tell me they would have shot him because the Police knew by then that every camera available would record their actions. He was nothing but an incompetent coward!! Everybody has a few hassles at work!! He simply was incapable of "Manning-up", slautered some innocent people and eventually, when faced with having to contend with equal fire power, took the pussy way out!!! I for one, hope he rots in Hell!!!

With that in mind, I cannot help but wonder if Doner's perception of high ethical standards is not what got him fired, in his accusations of excessive force against his fellow officer, he said, "it was not necessary for her to kick the suspect in the chest and face while Doner had him subdued on the ground.".....So maybe what set Doner off is the realization his high ethical standards were not welcome in the LAPD........After all, Doner's chances of escaping would have been much better if he had not allowed the couple who owned the cabin he was hiding in , and the man who's truck he hijacked to live, but he did....

                                                                      This is a very sad story all around..indeed.

But that did not give him license to kill innocent people, except under the most perverse interpretation of the Second Amendment which, unfortunately, some gun nuts have been advocating.

                                                                      They "accidentally" set it on fire? Really? What was all that "BURN IT, BURN IT, BURN IT, [bleep, bleep] NOW!!!" recorded audio about? This was recorded right before the place was set on fire but AFTER it was shot full of gas?? I find this whole report very suspicious and I'm one who is normally solidly on the side of believing the police.

                                                                      The "cold" tear gas didn't work. So the sheriff's deputies used the incendiary type, which almost always causes fires.

                                                                      • 3 votes

                                                                      Invisible - They never used "cold" cans. The audio is well documented.

                                                                      "Seven burners deployed, and we have fire."

                                                                      Seven where used to create multiple fires so they couldn't be put out, that amount of tear gas is absurd for a house.

                                                                      • 5 votes

                                                                      Then again you know what they say

                                                                      The difference between a cop and a criminal is the side of the badge their on...
