While the final stage of the manhunt for Christopher Dorner, the former Los Angeles police officer, unfolded on live television Tuesday evening â" with local news channels broadcasting helicopter views of the cabin in the San Bernardino Mountains engulfed in flames â" the authorities pressed the media to keep reporters at a distance, because, they suggested, the suspect could have been monitoring broadcasts of the operation as it unfolded.
Before the request was made, however, a crew from the local CBS News affiliate KCAL-TV recorded close shots of a gun battle between officers and the suspect that ook place directly in front of them. CBS News has posted that video online, with a partial transcript of the report Carter Evans, the KCAL correspondent pinned down by the exchange of fire, phoned in from the scene.
