(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.

He deserved a trial. If he did what they said he did he deserved to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Don't disagree about that. He should have surrendered with media present if he wanted to live.

So you guys think that if he would have given himself up, say negotiated via Charlie Sheen, they would have executed him as soon as they saw him?

Yeah. That's what happened. He set his only protection from certain death on fire.

Yeah from the media not the cops. When the cops finally had an opportunity to prevent a larger platform for him they did.

We don't do this shit to the guilty in order to prevent it happening to the innocent.

I think the guy was guilty as shit, but this is America, Jack. We're supposed to be the ones who do it the right way. The hard way, yeah. the bloody way, sometimes.

But the right way.

True, but sooner or later the "alleged" criminal needs to take some responsibility and throw down his weapons. He could easily have turned himself in at TV news office in order to guarantee his safety. Instead, he engages in a firefight.

The cops saying to burn the ****er down, then making the media leave them the house burning makes sensible people believe the cops burnt it.

what a coincidence that he would burn it. What a ****ing coincidence.

The homeowner's son said no internet, TV or anything so he couldn't have seen the video

The guy killed the daughter of a cop he was pissed at.

I don't really see any reason to buy him one meal in custody.

It wasn't protection it was a death trap. He made a tactical mistake by going in there.

Hell no. A public surrender in front of cameras? Sooner or later, if you want the justice of a jury trial, you have to submit yourself to that justice.
