(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.

You can bet they are going to kill him without a trial.

I was going to say, what he is doing is being a real life Rambo.

He eats things that would make a billy goat puke!

Um, no. Rambo didn't systematically hunt down and murder innocent people just because they were family members of somebody he didn't like.

Those kind of nut jobs normally can't keep their mouths shut.

It's hard to get really worked up about that.

And I'm sure he knows that. So him someone does help him I doubt he leaves any loose ends.

'Sniper' isn't really a role; it's a qualification given to the highest of the high speed. In essence, you take a SEAL (or some other high-end unit, depending on the branch) that was already qualified in all that stuff, you see that he is a crack shot, then you send him out to a long-distance range every day until he can shoot flees off a dogs ass.

A 'Sniper' is going to have all the training you're discussing. That guy was trained to do all of that stuff well before he was given a big !@#$ing rifle and told to lay still for awhile. And if they took his big !@#$ing rifle away, he'd be more than capable of gutting you with a rock while surviving off his own piss.

Sure, not like a sniper can't do anything else. I'm saying that it's not what he's doing. He's arming himself differently than that, his "mission" is going to be more complicated than that, and he has more knowledge of his targets than a sniper typically would.

Of course, he does have his years on the police force that gives him some knowledge, but I don't think his skill set is particularly daunting.

If only the greatest sniper in United States history was still around to off him...

Damn you fate, damn you to hell...

Do we know where this guy was at when that went down?

I disagree pretty vehemently here.

I'd like to hear this man speak to both his actions and his accusations. The people he's killed are dead and shall remain dead one way or the other. If one of the same triggerhappy ****s that just shot up a couple of asian women in a blue pickup when they were looking for a single large black man in a grey pickup blow the guy away, we've gained nothing as a group.

On the other hand, if the man faces trial and can somehow testify to this, we could either bring a great deal of corruption in the LAPD to light (which is the most likely scenario) or put the allegations to bed. Either way, it's a good thing for the rest of the country.

But it's not going to happen. I think he's already dead.

Not really. Rambo was a spec-ops operator this guy is not even close. He has the same training as Private in the USMC out of bootcamp.

Let's be honest he is a Navy guy (outside of SEALS) he can't be that dangerous.
