A man who was carjacked by alleged cop killer Christopher Dorner in California’s Big Bear mountains on Tuesday escaped only seconds before a deadly shootout began.
“I was happy that he let me go and had me take my dog,” Rick Heltebrake told Savannah Guthrie on TODAY Wednesday. “I got to tell you, not more than 10 seconds after that I was walking up the road, and that’s when I heard a volley of gunfire. At that point I bailed into the snow and hid behind a tree and called the local deputy up here on his personal cell phone and told him what was going on. That’s when everything started happening and then I found out later what was happening with those gunshots.”
