A disgrunted former Los Angeles police officer has reportedly shot two sheriff's deputies during a gun battle Tuesday afternoon, multiple news agencies are reporting.
Ex-cop Christopher Dorner, who has been the subject of a massive manhut, engaged in a shootout with authorities near Big Bear, Calif., the LA Times reported. The Big Bear Lake area is about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
An unidentified source told the newspaper that the shooting occurred after Dorner burglarized a home, tied up a couple and stole their car.
As of 2 p.m. PT, law enforcement officers were said to be swarming an area near a cabin.
"Suspect is pinned down next to the shooting scene," a San Bernadino dispatcher said over a police radio channel.
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.
Dorner, an ex-Los Angeles cop, is accused of killing three people -- including one police officer -- last week.
Yahoo News staffers Jason Sickles and Dylan Stableford contributed to this report.
