San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept Admits to Intentionally Burning Chris Dorner Alive
The transcripts provide the most detailed glimpse yet of the final hours of the manhunt that covered several states and grabbed the attention of the nation. - They tried using tear gas to force him out of the dwelling, and when that failed, seven canisters of incendiary tear gas were used. Near the end of the standoff, as SWAT officers in an armored BearCat methodically tore down the walls of the cabin, they saw "green smoke" coming from the inside. Authorities believe Dorner was throwing smoke grenades to obscure any view of him. Eleven minutes later "seven burners deployed, fired (sic) started" — a reference to incendiary tear gas being lobbed into the cabin to end the standoff. Within minutes walls of the cabin were fully engulfed in flames.
