And then ends my updates. The Police Scanner finally went down. I am as in the dark as you guys.
Special Update: One of the wounded Deputies has died.
Rumor: Dorner is dead. Two things make that seem plausible. Roadblock was opened up farther down the mountain and no more vehicle searches, and the scanner has started playing agian. Still just a rumor.
Cabin on fire cabin on fire.
Ammo is cooking off inside the place.
