LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A person believed to be triple-murder suspect Chris Dorner was involved in a shootout with police in the San Bernardino Mountains Tuesday, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.

The officer told The Associated Press it's believed 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 when Dorner fled in a stolen car. Gunfire was exchanged.

A federal law enforcement source confirmed to ABC News that surveillance video of a man buying scuba gear at a Sports Chalet in Torrance on Feb. 1 was Dorner. The video was obtained by TMZ on Monday. Investigators are also looking into reports that Dorner checked into a Manhattan Beach hotel and wrote his manifesto there.

The LAPD said at a news conference Tuesday morning that it is looking into more than 1,000 tips from the public.

Authorities raided a hotel in Tijuana, Mexico, on Monday night, hoping to capture Dorner, but he was not found.

FLASH: Now 'pinned down' in cabin...


2 Deputies Shot In Standoff, Search For Christopher Dorner

BIG BEAR (CBSLA.com) — Two San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies have been shot while pursuing a carjacking and home-invasion suspect in the Angelus Oaks area of Big Bear.

A law enforcement source confirms to the Associated Press that the assailant is triple-murder suspect Christopher Dorner, who is said to be heavily armed and engaging in gunfire with authorities from inside a cabin.

Repeated gunshots could be heard on Glass Road west of 7 Oaks just after 1:30 p.m. and officials requested an armored vehicle to help remove the injured deputies from the scene. A SWAT team was also called in to set up a perimeter of the area. KCAL9′s Carter Evans, who was reporting nearby, is safe despite loud gunfire that could be heard during his live report.

The earlier incident at a home in the 1200 block of Club View Road, which is located near Highway 38 and Glass Road, was reported around 12:20 p.m. The suspect reportedly tied up a couple and stole their 2008 four-door, white Dodge 4X4 truck, which is registered to nearby Camp Tahquitz. One of the victims was able to escape and alert authorities, who later recovered a rifle and possibly a can of gas.

“The reporting party said the suspect took their vehicle and described the suspect as looking very similar to Dorner,” a Sheriff’s Public Affairs spokesperson said in a statement.

The suspect then fled into the forest and barricaded himself inside a cabin, authorities said.

Highway 38, as well as all roads in and out of Big Bear, have been shut down.

Bear Valley Unified School District confirms all four of its schools — Big Bear High School, Chautauqua High School, Baldwin Lane Elementary School and Fallsvale Elementary School — have been locked down.

The two injured officers were being airlifted to a local hospital with unknown injuries.

Authorities Monday reduced the number of law enforcement officers patrolling the Big Bear area from several hundred to just 30.

So much for this jack hole being such a cunning and brilliant "revolutionary". He lost a hostage and has now gotten pinned down in a cabin. Eric Rudolph is laughing his ass off at this star struck moron.

I really thought that he would try to kill himself and dispose of his own body so that it could not be found.

I heard on Twitter that someone heard over the police scanner that the cabin was "all clear", IOW bereft of bodies.

UPDATE: Dorner was found dead.
