(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.

JFC. He has had tons of airtime already.

There are reasons why we don't just kill suspects.

I never saw the guy pull a trigger. All I heard was that two people were shot and this magical, faceless message gets blasted all over the media so there is zero question this guy is a cop killer.

Shit, they could have had the guy tied up there for weeks and planned this entire thing. It's highly unlikely, but it is absolutely not impossible.

Again, no matter what, the guy deserved a trial.

For **** sake, Saddam Hussein got a ****ing trial.

That's because Saddam wasn't a threat when captured. OBL didn't get a trial.

Although at this point I could go either way. I would PREFER a nice easy trial and execution, but at this point I can easily see more lives being lost going that route.

They were never ever ever ever ever going to let this guy get arrested. It was a bodybag for him no matter what.

I don't care. As a police officer or military you meet deadly force with deadly force.

**dirk digler** · 02-12-2013, 07:13 PM

CNN is reporting he tried to escape when the fire started and he was pushed back into the house by gunfire

Please. They were going to kill this guy no matter what, to the extent of shooting innocent people.

It's not about what's easy. It's about what's legal. god forbid any of us are ever in a situation where the entire world is convinced of our guilt to where our swift and merciless murder is considered justice.

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.

He tried to escape right after the fire started which may lead one to believe he set the fire as a diversion

Are the cops motivated by saving innocent lives, or saving their own ass?
