UPDATE: The search for the most wanted man in America is apparently over. Law enforcement officials say a charred body has been found in a burned cabin where a fugitive former police officer Christopher Dorner barricaded himself.

Dorner ran there and exchanged gunfire, wounding two deputies. One of the deputies later died. The manhunt started Thursday in the Big Bear area after Christopher Dorner's abandoned pickup truck was found.

UPDATE:  Los Angeles police are asking a former colleague who's believed to be barricaded in the San Bernardino Mountains to turn himself in and end the bloodshed.

LAPD held a brief news conference Tuesday, confirming that authorities think it's Christopher Dorner who's holed up in a cabin in the Big Bear Lake area, after a shootout that wounded two officers.

LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith asked news agencies not to broadcast live reports because the person in the cabin might be watching television.

He urged Dorner to surrender, saying "Enough is enough.''

Authorities say the former Los Angeles police officer wanted for killing three people is holed up in a cabin miles from where his truck was found.

A sheriff's official said Christopher Dorner stole a vehicle Tuesday near Big Bear Lake, abandoned it after a chase, ran into the forest and barricaded himself in the cabin. He got into a gunfight with officers, two of whom were injured.

As the crow flies, it's about five miles from where Dorner's pickup was found Thursday, though a ridge with peaks topping 8,000 feet lies between the locations. By road, the areas are about 30 miles apart.

The manhunt for Dorner began Wednesday. In an online post, he targeted dozens of people he feels are responsible for his firing from the LAPD in 2008.
