Los Angeles (CNN) -- A former Los Angeles cop with military training waged war with his former colleagues Thursday. Police said one officer was dead.

Jittery police searched a huge swath of southern California -- from San Diego to Los Angeles -- for Christopher Jordan Dorner. He's a 270-pound former Navy lieutenant professing a mighty beef against LAPD officers he claimed ruined his life by forcing him out of his dream job.

The shooting of the police officer and two others came a day after Irvine, California, police named Dorner a suspect in the double slayings of a woman -- identified by Los Angeles police as the daughter of a retired LAPD officer -- and her fiance.
Dorner blamed the retired officer for bungling his appeal to get his job back, according to a letter he wrote complaining of mistreatment by the LAPD. In that letter -- provided to CNN by an LAPD source -- Dorner vowed to wage a violent war of retribution against police officers and their families.

"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner wrote in the letter. "I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours," he wrote.

The fear was apparent Thursday in downtown Los Angeles, as police wearing body armor patrolled outside their own iconic headquarters. Commanders issued orders to keep all of the department's officers on duty.

I hope that they get him soon!!

Any time is a good time for pie.

They did not treat it like a threat to any normal citizen that is for sure.  Heh.

I hope so, too. If they don't those trigger happy cops are going to wind up killing several innocent people.

We know how this is going to end. The cops are going to shoot him when he resists arrest. I hope all of them stay safe and get him fast.

Send Piers Morgan after him..... I'm sure he could use rational thought and meaningful conversation to apprehend him.

Sad that this disturbed guy managed to pass all sorts of evals (I am assuming psych ones as well) and when he snapped he ambushed and killed a young couple who were getting married whose only connection was that her father was representing this prick.

I don't blame cops for being nervous if he is calling out that his is going to kill their families and presumably has info on them.

Piers is an expert on firearms because his brother is in the army. He'll know exactly what to do!
