By: Katiana Urbina (Straight Lead)

As of Thursday February 7, 2013 breaking news of a former LAPD police officer and Navy reservist surface the world. Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, he is wanted for several murders and threats of murder in California. The first attack on officers occurred early Thursday in Corona and involved two LAPD officers working a security detail, Los Angeles Sgt. Alex Baez said. A citizen pointed out Dorner to the officers, who followed him until his pickup stopped and he got out, allegedly fired a rifle at them, officials said. One officer's head was grazed by a bullet.

Two murder victims on Sunday was Monica Quan, 28, a Fullerton basketball coach, and fianc Also, USC public safety officer Keith Lawrence, 27, was killed they were all found dead inside their car located in a parking garage of their Irvine, Calif. Condo. According to fox news officers executed a search warrant at the house of Dorner's mother, but it wasn't clear what they were hoping to find there. The search for Dorner, which had extended across California from the U.S.-Mexico border through Nevada, narrowed in on a cold, snowy mountain Thursday night 80 miles east of Los Angeles where Dorner's burned truck was found. The question is why Christopher Jordan Dorner killing, well he was fired from the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008 after falsely accusing a fellow officer of brutality, promised in a chilling manifesto to bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in the LAPD uniform. This is an act of revenge. The unhinged killer also sent CNN anchor Anderson Cooper a package last week containing a DVD and a Post-it note reading, I never lied, the network said. The parcel additionally contained a bullet-riddled LAPD souvenir coin, one of thousands former L.A. Police Chief Bill Bratton handed out. Cooper said he didnt know of the packages existence until Thursday. As Dorner increasingly spun out of control and the frenzy level to

catch him rose Thursday, Torrance, Calif., cops opened fire on a truck similar to Dorners, wounding two women delivering newspapers. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck said the shooting was a case of mistaken identity. When the truth comes out, the killing stops, he wrote.
