http://theobservantcitizen.com/330/categories/news/transcripts-of-the-christopher-dorner-incident/

        Looking for a Maroon Nissan SUV, shutting down parts of Hwy 38 at this time. 40 King is involved in the search. Subject is considered armed and dangerous and may have two hostages. Do not approach.
        Suspect may now be in a white Dodge pickup.
        Calling for a lock down of all facilities, turn away any individuals that are unknown.
        Suspect may have gone down Glass Rd.
        Copy.
        Closest strike team to respond with 4 Paul 5 at his location.
        We have the Nissan, vehicle is clear, with a silenced sniper rifle in the back seat. We have located the hostages, they are safe, it appears he still has a silenced pistol with him.
        He jacked a white Dodge PU truck on Glass Rd.
        We need River Rd blocked.
        Transcriber Note: When this call came in it was from a woman in Moonridge who said that Dorner, the suspect in an ongoing Blue Alert, had tied her up and taken 2 of her housekeeper and her maroon Nissan SUV. At this time the authorities are working of the supposition that the suspect they are pursuing is indeed Dorner.

        Can we close down 38 at Bryant?
        2008 Wht. Dodge pu truck, 4 door.
        Shot at Fish and Game units, who shot back, he's continuing on foot.
        Heading South Fork 1N45 entrance. I think he's heading that way.
        38 is closed at Lake Williams, 330 is being monitored.
        SBSO has a 12 man swat team set up at 38 and Bryant. There are a lot of civilians down there, due to road work.
        330 is now closed in both directions.
        Start a Big Bear ambulance and have them stage at 38 and Heart Bar.

        Snow tracks on 7 Pines at Glass Rd. Fresh tracks.

        Stage at 330 and 1N09.

        Head down Greenspot Road, into the Orange Groves; he can get out that way on 1N09.
        Last on Glass Road. They think he's on 1N09 heading towards the 330.

        Just talked to SO. He may still be in the white Dodge truck.

        1N45 towards South Fork?

        That's a possibility.

        Get the unnecessary traffic of 8 Mountain 1. 8 Mountain 1 priority traffic only. Talk around on 8Tac 2

        Incident commander to 8Tac2 to assign the units. Keep 8 Mountain 1 clear for 4 Paul 5 and the units on Glass Road.

        We need one F&G unit to come down to where the silver van is in the roadway.

        There are no units. That's the point. I need somebody to watch that van.

        Glass Road to Seven Oaks Dam towards 1N09

        1274 Club View (MA and ME291 to respond to - staging for SO)

        Transcriber's Note: the 3 medics in the truck are enroute to the scene to extricate the fallen officers.

        Send 2 more ambulances down to this incident, and request recall to both stations.

        Copy, we don't have any more ambulances, one is evaluating victims and the other is on transfer.

        Copy, cancel the transfer and bring them back here.

        They have both deputies loaded into a black pickup truck. Putting 40K down on the road, waiting for the truck.
        They are making access to the airship, it's on the ground.

        Dispatch to Air 83: Do we still have the suspect pinned down? I did not have a visual, but the best I can tell is they have him pinned down near the shooting scene and they are working.

        Pinned down on highway 38; send all units to highway 38.
        Cover the dirt road that comes out by the Oaks restaurant.

        IC, Bear Cat, where do you need us

        Bear Cat, come on down 7 Oaks until you see all the cars. I'm gonna need your ammo cans (rest was broken)

        We can not put boots on the ground on that side, no boots on the ground, it's too dangerous!
        Per Terri Kasinga CalTrans - all roads are closed in the mtn communuties and probably will be for several hours
        Let me know when you have an eye on that north side and are able to cover it effectively.

        Can you get that news copter out of the area? They're broadcasting our swat positions, they need to go!

        Would be my pleasure.

        Sheriff McMahon has asked that your helicopters pull back or leave the area of the barricaded suspect. Gunfire is being exchanged between law enforcement and the suspect; your personnel are in danger and could contribute to officer safety on the ground.

        Thank you for your cooperation.

        Can you plan some routes to Loma Linda and some other trauma centers?

        Copy.

        Suspect may be out of the cabin. All units use caution.

        Per Caltrans District 8
        SR138 at Pilot Rock is being opened to upbound traffic.

        Clear the Air! The only ones that should be talking are the ones that have visual on the suspect on 8Mtn1. All other to 8Tac2.

        40K to Control - Info only - a bunch of LA deputies just showed up and inserted on that (plateau?) about 1/4 mile(I think) from the scene; not sure if they were invited.

        LA Fire Ship info? Copy; per 61C get all other aircraft out of the area, he'd appreciate it.

        LA Fire Ships inserted up the ridge about 1/2 mile from the location - multiple SWAT members. Probably headed for the ridge about 1/2 mile from the incident location.


        Team of 6 guys on the #4 side with 2 snipers.


        LA County flew 3 or 4 helicopters up here. They inserted into a field 1/2 mile north of the location; dropped off 15 SWAT guys all dressed in black. Not sure if they were invited or if there is any coordination with those guys. We need to pass that on to the powers that be.


        We still have 330 closed, but 18, towards Crestline should be open, let's keep it like that.

        Copy.

        330 is still shut down; per Chief (Cuzimano?) that should be opened.

        Advise the units that 330 is to be opened.

        http://bearvalleyusd.org/ As of 2:10 pm today, February 12, 2013, the lockdown at BBHS, BLES and CTHS has been lifted. Buses will be running and parents can pick up their students. FVES remains on lockdown.

        61C 61L: Back the Bear down and then deploy the burner through the turret.

        He's not shooting back; he may be down.

        Confirm you know there is a basement in that residence.

        Affirmed.

        Transcribers Synopsis: Units on scene have been working to tear the house apart on the sides of the house that they have been able to secure. There is now talk of taking down the kitchen wall and it has been noted by the ground units that a blood splatter has been observed on one of the interior walls.

        Green smoke inside the house.

        Not SBD smoke. Diversion.

        Can you go to the back?

        He's in the 1-4 corner of the house.

        Push him back towards the 1-2 if you can.

        He deployed another smoke.

        We're going to be deploying a gas burner to the #1 side from the Bear.


        7 burners have deployed and we have a fire.


        Fire in the front, he might come out the back

        #1 side fully engulfed; fire on the floor.

        Sound like one shot fired from inside the residence.

        All primary units stand by; maintain your discipline.

        The 1-2 corner fully engulfed.

        Status check? Code 4, on the #4 side. Do we have fire back there yet? That's affirm. That's affirm. The #2 and 4 side are fully involved. Only have #3 side left.

        Any propane cylinders back there that we need to be aware of?

        No, not that I can see from my position.

        Do you want have fire start putting water on it once the roof starts to collapse?

        Affirm; but we're not quite there yet. The #2-3 is still vulnerable.

        We'll move Fire 200 yards out.

        There is still alot of room on the 3-4 corner that hasn't engulfed yet.

        We still have ammo going off in the fire.

        Battalion 131 we're still not ready for you. We still have live ammo going off.

        Bat131 we have a firefighter that was raised in that building and he is familiar with it. The basement is 12x15.

        Fire is doing quite well. The 2-3 or the 3-4 is where that basement is located.

        Standing by for your call for Fire - whenever you're ready.

        Allowing residents of Mountain Home Village, Angelus Oaks and Forest Falls up the 38 at Bryant. All others are being turned around.

        You guys are my eyes back there. If you see anything catching fire that shouldn't, let me know. Otherwise let it go.

        Getting information that there is a propane tank at the rear of the residence near a garage. Be aware, if it goes it will be about a 50 yard debris field.

        Copy.

        Fire Dept has been allowed in to the scene; no word yet on whether anyone was found...

        We need a lighting unit out here.

        Media is being held (at Angelus Oaks) until confirmation.

        Media is to stay at Bryant and the 38. They are not to come up to Angelus Oaks.

        Per SBSO, do not let any more media upbound, keep them at 38 and Bryant.

        The camps in the area are calling to confirm they are to stay on lock down.

        They can release the lock down.

        We're receiving information from Riverside PD that there were escape routes from the basement in the cabins there.

        {reply} We have a previous resident that lived there...


Per Caltrans District 8

SR38 is open (ID required) to residents of Valley of the Falls, Mountain Home Village, and Angelus Oaks. SR38 is still closed from that point up to Lake Williams.

    Media is now allowed up to Angelus Oaks Market. Per SBSO.
