LOS ANGELES (AP) — A law enforcement official says a person believed to be the fugitive ex-Los Angeles cop sought in three killings has exchanged gunfire with authorities in the San Bernardino Mountains. The officer requested anonymity because the officer was not authorized to speak publicly about the ongoing investigation.The officer tells The Associated Press it's believed Christopher Dorner committed a residential burglary of a cabin and had a couple tied up in the cabin. One was able to get away and make a call. Authorities responded to the location and gave chase Tuesday when Dorner fled in a stolen car. Gunfire was exchanged.

Disgruntled former L.A.P.D. officer Christopher Dorner is reportedly barricaded in a mountain cabin after shooting two deputies during a gun battle this afternoon, according to the San Bernardino County sheriff's office. Authorities have the cabin surrounded near Big Bear Lake, which is about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles. Dozens of SWAT officers have been sent to the scene. An unidentified source told the the L.A. Times that the shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole their car. A spokeswoman with the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office said that two officers were being transported via air ambulance. Their conditions were not known.
"Suspect is pinned down next to the shooting scene," a San Bernardino dispatcher said over a police radio channel. "Marshals have a positive ID and visual of the suspect." A 3-mile-wide perimeter has been set up by police, and authorities were asking news helicopters not to broadcast live video of the cabin. Residents in the area were being told to stay inside and lock their doors. The California Highway Patrol has closed all highways near the scene. "People should stay away from that area. It is not safe right now," a police spokeswoman told KTLA-TV.
