Former LA Police Officer On Killing Spree

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/08/us/former-los-angeles-police-officer-sought-in-shootings.html

Former LA Police Officer has gone on a killing spree against his former employers. As of yesterday, they still have not caught him. He has been trained by the very people who are now searching for him, which makes it much harder.

The LAPD has reopened the case that cased the former Officer to be fired years ago. Dorner claims it was due to racism.

He is currently hiding in the mountains north of LA.

It's scary to think you are hunting someone who has been trained to know your every step...

Hope they catch him and get him the help (mentally) he needs.

  1. This is so upsetting to know an officer who is suppose to be protecting the people, is actually hurting them. I feel that the police team is going to have a hard time finding this man considering, he worked for the police department, and knows all the ways the department works to find people, drugs, and solve crimes. I have to say good luck to the LA police department, and get this man the extensive care he needs.

  2. Its really scary thinking that anyone, even a former police officer, is capable of such awful things. Being that he is a former police officer its going to be very difficult to catch him. Obviously this man is struggling within himself and needs to be stopped before more deaths occur. I hope he is caught soon!
