(CNN) -- A former Los Angeles police officer who police say has violently threatened his former colleagues shot at least two officers early Thursday, killing one, sparking a huge manhunt in Southern California, according to authorities.
Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, is also wanted in a double slaying Sunday in Irvine, California.
The California Highway Patrol issued an alert Thursday morning urging officers in several Southern California counties to be on the lookout for Dorner after the overnight shootings.
Two officers in Riverside were shot, one fatally, police there confirmed to CNN. CNN affiliate KTLA reported another officer was shot in Corona, California.
Irvine police identified Dorner on Wednesday as the suspect in the February 3 deaths of Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan in Irvine.
Dorner also has made violent threats against other Los Angeles police officers, the agency said Wednesday.
"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner allegedly wrote in a lengthy letter promising retribution against the department, where he worked from 2005 until 2008. An LAPD source provided the document to CNN.
The letter writer claimed he was terminated for reporting excessive force by a fellow officer, and said his attacks were retribution for his termination, as well as a culture of racism and violence he says continues within the department.
He called the attacks against police "a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."
Los Angeles police warned people who encounter Dorner not to approach him, saying he is likely "armed and extremely dangerous."
"Our department is implementing all measures possible to ensure the safety of our LAPD personnel, their families and the Los Angeles community, and will continue to do so until Dorner is apprehended and all threats have been abated," police said in a statement.
CNN's Mallory Simon and Deanna Hackney contributed to this report.

Thanks or sharing.


I'll keep researching myself, everything is vague as of right now.

Well no shit lol, I'm still intrigued with his motive.

I read in the LA Times that it actually took authorities five hours to figure out that the burned-out truck was Dorner's. He's long gone from there, I bet.

The truck had a broken axle, which would have prevented the vehicle from moving, and footprints appear to show that Dorner doubled back into the community, said a source with knowledge of the investigation.

It was unclear where Dorner may have gone from there or by what means, the source said.

But Bachman told reporters Friday: "The possibility exists that he is here, somewhere in the forest, so we're going to keep looking...until we determine that he's not here."

Guns found in the truck were also burned, but authorities believe Dorner may have as many as 30 guns with him, the source said. Dorner was in the Navy and is trained in counterinsurgency and intelligence, the source said.

So the broken axle means he may not have reached his ideal destination. Can I fire cause that? I don't know.

I had to laugh at the line about him having 30 guns with him.

Yeeeeeeeeah

He wouldn't stick out at all sporting 30 guns, even if he had them in a big tote bag. Not even to get into the weight of thirty guns with the ammo.

They're saying he might have up to 30 guns stashed in different areas. Remember he had 3-4 years to plan this out. If you read his manifesto he was able to retrieve weapons/weapon accessories at a very very cheap price.

Cops abuse their power and do whatever the the hell they want everywhere.....not all cops, of course, but enough to make you sick.

This map from one of those powerful links, shows that LA is one of only 2 counties, in the US marked in red when it comes to police misconduct.

Me too.
He's probably taken quite a few muderers down with him.
Not implying that this is justified by that.

I will take the bait on 30 guns stashed as a possibility, but there is no way he has 30 guns with him without a vehicle. 30 guns with a decent stash of ammo would be at least 200 pounds. If he is in the mountains, there is no way that dude is packing an extra 200 pounds in that thin air along with other supplies.

I agree that he isn't in the mountains. Why in the hell would he want to attract attention by burning his truck? I say so he could bring the search to the mountains while he was elsewhere. Although he is strong enough to carry 200 pounds of artillery, no way he isn't somewhere else in another vehicle. 3-4 years to plan this? Yeah, he's long gone and just waiting to make his next move.

Yeah, if he has them stashed in a hide out it makes sense. It was just funny the way it's written. Even if he has 30 guns, he only has two hands.

Wait, he's only killed one cop, and two innocent people?
WTF I thought diude had killed like 5 cops.
He's no daisy.

Well, to be honest, the LAPD is doing their best to add to the number of casualties.

He may be able to carry 200 pounds in the mountains, but not for long trust me on that one, not in that thin air. Another thing to think about is the fact that he would need other things to survive up there, likely weighing in at a minimum of 100 pounds.

On top of all that, there is a fresh snow up there, so tracking him would not be that hard. I'm with you, unless he humped it up to a cabin around there, he is long gone.
