Now that weeklong manhunt for a rogue former cop is apparently over apparently.

After a wild standoff and shoot out some of that shootout caught on live television.

That is just some of the barrage of gunfire outside a burning.

Cabin where ex cop Chris -- was believed to have been inside holed up.

What's believed to be his remains were found inside the charred cabins that Bob -- has not been confirmed they're still working on to -- the the body 10 wild.

Was and still is now on good morning everybody I'm delivering welcome -- to Latin America autism crew.

Does something in late yesterday afternoon good morning everybody I'm Martha MacCallum so we're now told that he was hiding out in the big bear resort.

Do this entire duration.

He was literally right across from the police command center that was set up to search for -- Unbelievable William -- -- live at police headquarters in LA.

-- terrifying moments for a lot of police but it appears.

It appears we stress they have their man -- -- good morning.

You're right bill but LAPD does not want to break protocol because it is not their crime scene in the San Bernardino county sheriff's office.

Doesn't want to jump the gun until the corner has a chance to see the body that is still inside the cabin the actions of law enforcement.

Tell a different story.

That they're night here.

Basically one of their own turning against them appears to be over and the end came for Christopher -- as many predicted it would in a shoot out and likely.

The self inflicted gunshot.

This is a scene yesterday in the San Bernardino Mountains.

As -- sought refuge from a swarm of law enforcement who descended on him inside a vacant cabins.

An animal in the big business community that they didn't -- that you can get.

Overall I'm not fired -- -- out there to help me out and I can't get out of it out and pulled off yeah.

Via automatic -- -- -- -- -- that it down.

Bill Bradley on channel we have that hold it together we had a great shot but I don't collapsed twice that.

-- this all began to happen around noon yesterday when -- cleaning woman.

-- inside a what they thought to be a vacant -- to clean it inside his corner who'd taken refuge there.

After crashing his truck last Thursday he tied the women up.

One -- broke free.

He then stole their car -- purple Nissan.

And -- who's trying to come down the mountain.

But he crashed the vehicle after being spotted by fish and wildlife he jumped into the woods and then he waited for a second car.

A white picked up he carjacked that driver and again.

Had a run in with a game wardens who ID him as a suspect Christopher Horner.

The first was a purple Nissan.

Which he ultimately appeared to have been driving too fast lost control vehicle crashed it carjacked the second white pick up and then what's fleeing the scene.

Which is when are we wouldn't notice him.

According to a reporter who is actually at the scene from of the local affiliates.

One of the reasons after -- he jumped out of that second vehicle and they were swarming him in the woods.

They have a very hard time knowing where that shots were coming from because he had a silence or suppressor on his gun.

He shot the first deputy as he took refuge in that cabin.

Killing that deputy were told and then trying to go out the back.

He wounded the second deputy but as people descended on that -- who's driven back inside and then they have the primarily surrounded it.

And of course finally had -- tear gas and of course tearing down the walls.

And then of the fire and that's when they heard the gunshot bill and to.

Think he was across the street literally from one of the police command centers.

But what happens now in this investigation.

Well basically we'll have the corner take out the body apparently he had some heavy tattoos.

Depending and his condition of the body they could probably idea quickly over the -- on the demo records how bad it is we're not really sure.

Now LE PD has been very.

Tight lipped if you will about the investigation they haven't told us anything about evidence -- -- collected.

Any wiretaps any possible accomplices.

And if he had help.

As this investigation unfolds anybody who has assisted him.

Assisted him in hiding from the police department assistant have been avoiding capture vs in any way is criminally culpable and I can assure you that the Los and his police department.

And the district attorney's office will leave no stone unturned to find out if in fact someone was assisting this man in his in his it is terrible crimes and -- eluding capture.

So we have a news conference schedule here for about 11 AM eastern.

Hopefully at that time they may tell us maybe they'll be bringing down that protective guard they have over the families.
