Disgraced cop and former U.S navy officer Christopher Jordan Dorner during a tour of duty in Iraq |
Disgraced
LA police officer suspected of fatally shooting three people sent a package
detailing his personal vendetta against the Los Angeles police department to
CNN presenter Anderson Cooper on Thursday Night. The package included a
bullet-riddled souvenir coin given to Dorner by the previous LAPD police chief,
who oversaw his firing from the department in 2009. Dorner also included a DVD
and notes about the complaint he filed against an LAPD supervisor, which he
said led to his termination.
Christopher
Jordan Dorner began his rampage that has sparked a massive police manhunt after
sending the package. Heavily armed SWAT police are said to be closing in on the
former U.S Navy officer.
In Big Bear - a popular ski area,
SWAT teams set out on snowmobiles on the slopes to search for Dorner.
'Police believe the fugitive has
a stash of guns hidden in Big Bear and came up to get them,' said a local
official. 'Obviously people in the community are very concerned.' The search
had earlier widened to include Nevada, Arizona, Mexico and all of California.
There are 40 potential targets
identified in Christopher Jordan Dorner's alleged online manifesto who are
receiving police protection.
A police official said it was the
largest manhunt in department history that anyone could recall.
He promises to wage
'unconventional and asymmetrical warfare' against police as revenge for his
'unjust' treatment by the 'corrupt' department.
And he has made good on his
threat. On Sunday he allegedly murdered the daughter and future son-in-law of
LAPD Captain Randy Quan, who defended him at the disciplinary hearing where he
was expelled from the police force.
Monica Quan, an assistant
basketball coach at California State University-Fullerton, and her fiancé Keith
Lawrence, a security officer at the University of Southern California, were
found shot to death in their car outside their condo in Irvine.
Early Thursday, he was spotted in
the area of one of the targets of his hit-list and Los Angeles police officers
engaged him a shootout.
Bizarrely, Dorner advocates for
strict gun control, even though he is believed to be armed with several
firearms, including an assault rifle. This sure is another slap in the face of
the powerful Rifle association in U.S who wants the law unchanged on gun
control.
