(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.

Anyone who's rooting for this guy is a complete douche.

Whatever validity there is to his message has been completely destroyed by the murder of innocents.

It's hard to doubt that there's some truth to what he wrote regarding corruption in the LAPD, but you won't ever get my support by doing stuff like that.

He's no hero. Shooting someone that didn't have anything to do with it just makes you a piece of shit murderer.

Comment seen on Reddit:

To announce that you're going to assassinate 12 cops and their families in downtown LA and then do it is the ballsiest thing I've ever heard of. It's on par with some Greek Mythology shit. It's the Babe Ruth calling-his-swings of murder, and he's picking some of the most well-defended targets in America. **** spartans, man. This guy is every Samuel L. Jackson character ever made rolled up into one. "I never had a family, I will end yours"? Daaaamn.
He's already out-balled the entire mafia and every street and 1%er gang in America by himself.
If there's an anticlimactic ending to all of this, it's going to be such a let down.

I'm really interested in how this all plays out. If the dude is smart he will lay low for a couple weeks until the cops let their guard down a little. The longer this goes on the worse the LAPD looks.

Yep. I believe him and it's tragic that his message is getting destroyed due to his actions as of now. If he was just going after those who he feels directly wronged him, it would still be wrong, but I'd feel a little more sympathetic to him. Killing people not involved, no bueno.

He's not a good guy. But he's in a unique position to shine light on the hypocrisy of the media and the corruption in the police force.

He's a murderer. He's terrorizing people who have nothing to do with this. He's in a unique position to get his head blown off and to fade away into the abyss of collective memory.

Sure, but murdering people isn't the way to deliver a message of change. No matter how this turns out, this guy will be NOTHING more than a murderous POS. Period. End of story.

Yeah, what's an innocent person's life worth when you want to make a point about the LAPD?

Images of the coin and DVD mailed to Anderson Cooper. Apparently the coin was given to him by police chief William Bratton.

When I was in 'Nam, I got shot with a .50 round in the buttox. Despite all that, I still managed to DT back into the jungle, pick up several of my injured buddies, including Lt. Dan Taylor and bring them back to safe harbor. Unfortunately, my bestest friend in the entire World - Benjamin "Bubba" Bufford did not make it back alive. May he RIP
