Description:
SWAT Deputies Used Hot Gas on Dorner
When cold
gas failed to flush Chris Dorner out of a remote cabin, San Bernardino
County (Calif.) Sheriff's SWAT deputies used hot gas, an incendiary tool
that could have caused the fire that engulfed the cabin.
A law
enforcement official told the Los Angeles Times deputies deployed hot
gas, a more intense chemical agent that has been known to inadvertently
cause fires inside dwellings.
Several media outlets, including
the United Kingdom-based Mirror, have reported that SWAT officers can be
heard yelling "Burn it down" on news audio clips from the incident.
However, burning down the cabin may not have been the officers'
intention, Robert O'Brien, a retired Cleveland SWAT commander, told
POLICE Magazine.
