CBS2/KCAL9 correspondent Carter Evans was caught in a crossfire gun battle this evening in Big Bear, California while he was reporting on the developments in the Christopher Dorner man hunt.  In the video above you can hear the enhanced (non anchor) audio of the firefight.  Carter Evans can be heard being told multiple times by law enforcement to leave the area — original audio and transcript below.

BACKGROUND: yelling, faintly “Get out of here, get out of here”

SANDRA: Is that someone yelling in the background, Carter?

CARTER: Yeah, we got authorities yelling at us to get out of here, but we don’t know where to go, frankly, to tell you the truth.

….

SANDRA: Carter what are you hearing, what are you seeing.

CARTER: Uh, I see authorities, I’m going to have to speak quieter now, I have you on the speaker phone. I see authorities honing in on an area on a cabin that is about 200 feet ahead of us right now. I see a lot of these authorities moving to take cover themselves.

[SOUND OF GUNFIRE]

CARTER: I hear some screaming, you heard all that gunfire.

SANDRA: That was gunfire.

CARTER: I see a team of sheriff’s deputies in full-on fatigues with weapons drawn running toward us right now. We are down on the ground behind the wheels of our car right now and the door is open, I am talking to you on the speaker phone. We are right, right in the center of the action here, we are right where this is happening.

….

CARTER: We’re trying to, we’re not moving from our vehicle, because this is a very fluid situation. We’re staying here, we don’t want to get caught in the crossfire ourselves.

UNIDENTIFIED: Hey you! Come here!

CARTER: Me?

UNIDENTIFIED: You! Come here! [Unintelligible]

[SOUND OF RAPID-FIRE GUNFIRE]

UNIDENTIFIED: Hey! Get the f— out of here now!

[YELLING]

UNIDENTIFIED: Get the f— down. Down! Keep it down!

[UNINTELLIGIBLE]

UNIDENTIFIED 2: Hey, hey! …Get the f— out, get the f— out now.
