Official Christopher Rambo Dorner Story

LAPD Getting Everything It Deserves. Los Angeles police officer accused of cleaning house. Read Dorner's Manifesto @http://wap.myfoxla.com/w/main/story/8...

Mexican authorities were ready to shoot to kill if they saw Christopher Dorner cross the border. On the U.S. side, tens of thousands of local, state and federal authorities scrambled following a flood of calls from people believing they had spotted the man, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 and vowed "warfare to those in LAPD uniform" in a rambling online manifesto.

Authorities believe he shot to death the daughter of a former LAPD captain and her fiance Sunday in an Irvine parking garage, grazed a Los Angeles policeman during a confrontation Thursday morning in Corona and shot two Riverside police officers in an ambush a short time later, killing one.

The Navy shut down its Point Loma base in San Diego after an active-duty service member at about 9:30 a.m. reported seeing someone matching Dorner's description on base. Military officials said Dorner had indeed checked into a hotel on base Tuesday but left the next day.

Navy spokesman Cmdr. Brian Fagan said the 33-year-old former Navy lieutenant left the reserves with an honorable discharge Friday, and likely used his military ID to get on base. The Navy lifted the lockdown about midday after dozens of police officers swarmed the base and failed to find him.

Signs of his trail sent authorities scrambling throughout the day from state to state and city to city. In Los Angeles, officers mistakenly wounded two women in suburban Torrance who were in a pickup in the predawn darkness Thursday. One woman was in stable condition with two gunshot wounds and the other was being released after being treated.

Minutes later, Torrance officers responding to a report of gunshots encountered another dark pickup matching the description of Dorner's, said Torrance Sgt. Chris Roosen. A collision occurred and the officers fired on the pickup.

The unidentified driver was not hit and police later realized they had made a mistake, Roosen said. "We're asking our officers to be extraordinarily cautious just as we're asking the public to be extraordinarily cautious with this guy. He's already demonstrated he has a propensity for shooting innocent people," said Andrew Smith, the LAPD commander.

Dorner is wanted in the killings of Monica Quan, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence. They were found shot in their car at a parking structure at their condominium Sunday night in Irvine, authorities said.

Quan, 28, was an assistant women's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton. Lawrence, 27, was a public safety officer at the University of Southern California. There was disbelief at three college campuses, Fullerton, USC, and Concordia University, where the two met when they were both students and basketball players.

On Thursday morning, Dorner's wallet and photo ID and a law enforcement badge were found on a street near San Diego International Airport. Dorner was believed to be heavily armed and wearing military-style fatigues and body armor.

Mexican authorities closely watched San Diego's border with Tijuana and were prepared to shoot him in a confrontation, said Alfredo Arenas, international liaison for the Baja California state police. The FBI and U.S. marshals provided constant updates.

"We're keeping tabs with them every five minutes to see if he comes to Tijuana," Arenas said. "If push comes to shove, they advised us to shoot to the head." Arenas said the Mexican navy was also watching out.

Dorner is suspected of tying up an 81-year-old man and trying to steal his boat at the Southwestern Yacht Club in San Diego on Wednesday night. He fled when he couldn't start the engine. The yacht club is about five miles from where Dorner's wallet was found, San Diego police said.

On Monday morning, authorities found Dorner's police equipment in a dumpster in the San Diego suburb of National City.

LRJ: what ever happened with the innocent victims that were shot by cops because they were driving a similar vehicle of the suspect? Moreover what happened to the cops that shot innocent citizens? They opened fire because of the vehicle, no contact, no lights and siren, just shooting. Google it and you'll find NO INFORMATION ON THE VICTIMES OR COPS OR SHOOTING CITIZENS W/ PROBABLE CAUSE BEING "SIMILAR [AUTO]" Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, General Moa would be proud to be American police. Shameful

thank goodness people are standing up against police corruption. Had the cops not been corrupt this never would have happened. 2 bad the fbi or internal affairs didnt learn from this and do the right thing. O well guess that they have to learn from people like doner instead. 2 bad he was burned alive by the pigs who lied about it. funny when we use doner tactics against other countries its great we are heros. But when it hits here its like he is satan and the news uses weird voices and propganda

i dont expect to upset you, youre too out of it and full of yourself to notice when its time to be upset over your own remarks. its natural for humans to regret some of the things you say, but you are sort of subhuman in the fact that you never have a clue where to draw the line. in this instance for example, you've exhausted the insults of my intelligence by reusing words like stupid, idiot and moron to the point where they've become monotonous and meaningless, even laughable. keep it coming.

[jboritzki]

I enjoy pointing out the stupidity of morons like you. This is my hobby, so don't go patting yourself on the back thinking that you've upset me in any way. You're a damn fool and I enjoy pointing that out. Eventually I'll bore of your idiocy. BTW, my sentence that you quoted is not even slightly hard to understand. I am sorry that you're having trouble with it though.

"...i do hope that you one day are able to hero worship this pathetic coward to the relative of one of his murder victims." thats one incoherent statement...thats the beauty of youtube though, people like you and me can say the most retarded things (you) and not have to face the consequences of our words. thats why i like to make fun of people here because my words bother people like you more than anything i could do to you in person. thats why you keep coming back for more.

[jboritzki]

I'm not too slow to understand, but you have to be able to form a coherent sentence. You are a fucking moron though and I do hope that you one day are able to hero worship this pathetic coward to the relative of one of his murder victims. I'm sure they'd have fun with you.
