All the news reports are saying that Suspect #2 was discovered by a homeowner who saw blood on his boat. Was the suspect wounded from the earlier shootout (the one that killed his brother), or was he wounded in a subsequent exchange that occurred on the property?

I only ask because all the news reports made it sound like the homeowner was surprised to find him there, and it seems like if some sort of gunfire was being exchanged on his property, he might have had a clue that something was up.
From what I understood he was wounded in the gunfight from the night before.

Did you notice how one of the police spokesmen (can't remember if it was the state or local guy) balked at the question about what kind of weapon he had on him? I'm wondering if there was really a firefight in the backyard or if the cops were just firing to pin him down.

There were some reports last night that the shots fired at the boat were from non lethal weapons.

Yeah, maybe. I only heard it a few times on twitter last night and then no more mentions of it though, so who knows.

I was going to write a snooty response to this, but then I remembered how I was rooting for that Dorner dude to escape in LA.

Some media outlets were reporting they were firing tear gas at the boat instead of bullets.

I don't think they were firing tear gas, that's more obvious than rubber bullets and more people would have said it.

People who talk about my post count seem to think about it a lot more than I ever do.
