Updated at 4:49 p.m. ET] Two
sheriff's deputies have been wounded in a shootout with a suspect
believed to be renegade ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Jordan
Dorner, a high-ranking law official with knowledge of the investigation
said Tuesday.
The source says the suspect, believed to be Dorner, shot the deputies
as police responded to a report of a home invasion and a carjacking in
the Big Bear area of southern California.
After police got a description of the vehicle, police set up a road
block, and Dorner approached the officers, the source says. Dorner then
opened fire, wounding the two sheriff's deputies, according to the
source.
The official said Dorner was "pinned down."
