The Christopher Dorner Story

 Christopher  Dorner was apparently holed up inside a Big Bear area condo for as many as five days before the husband and wife who own the property surprised him and then were tied up and gagged, the couple said Wednesday night."I really thought it could be the end," Karen Reynolds, 56, told reporters.

Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said he could not "absolutely, positively confirm" the body found in the  was that of Christopher Dorner, "We believe the investigation is over at this point,"
He denied  that officers intentionally set the fire, saying officers first used traditional tear gas to flush the man out. When that didn't work, they opted to use CS gas canisters, which are known in law enforcement parlance as incendiary tear gas. These canisters, filled with more potent gas, have a significantly greater chance of starting a fire!
