"There were floods of police cars flying down the road after what looked like a silver Dodge and soon after I saw a helicopter fly overhead," he said.
"There are armored vehicles in the area already. We're not allowed to leave the hotel or the mountain."
Dorner remains holed up in another cabin in the California mountains and has been surrounded by authorities for nearly two hours.
In a press conference held while the dramatic attempt to capture Dorner unfolded, LAPD Commander Andrew Smith delivered this message to the fugitive: “Enough is enough. It’s time to turn yourself in…it’s time to stop the bloodshed."
