The shootout and subsequent standoff between police and suspected killer Christopher Dorner was frantic enough, with gunshots and swearing heard through the cell phone of a reporter on the scene. Who would think to prank call a TV station during its live coverage? A Howard Stern fan, apparently.

The prankster said "You're a real dumbass if you don't know this is a prank!" Who does that in such a tense situation?

"You're a real dumbass, you don't know this is a prank call?" asks caller after making up "Ronnie the limo driver" story. #Dorner

Prank caller screams at KCAL reporter on live TV during Dorner coverage. Must be Palin's fault. #MSM

CBS/KCAL TV cut away from reporter live on scene of Dorner manhunt to take prank call from man pretending to be a law enforcement official.
