After an excop allegedly made good on threats to kill fellow officers and their families. Christopher dorner was fired from the force after a series of hearings in which he felt he had been wronged. And now hes threatening to quote, bring asymmetrical and Unconventional Warfare to any la cop on duty or off. The body count is mounting. One officer is dead. Another wounded. Also dead, a former officers daughter and her fiance. We are watching this story as it continues to develop. But again, la Police Officers at this hour are themselves in need of protection. We are not being given a lot of details to o exactly where theyve are looking for this man. But make no mistake he has a history not only in Law Enforcement but in military, and its very difficult to find someone when he knows the tricks of the trade. This is no ordinary manhunt. Right now the la cops at their peak. Paul vercammen has been watching this and following what we can get in terms of the Public Information on this. Paul, where do we stand right now with how they are trying to track this man . Reporter well, basically, it is an all out manhunt for a man that they believe is extremely dangerous, who they believe is now involved in three separate shooting incidents. If you look over my right shoulder, you can see how serious they are. Police in the background there with their fingers on their trigger guards, guns pointed in the air. This is just one of a couple areas, that have been sealed off in downtown riverside. Let me tell you what happened in riverside at about 1 30 this morning. Police told us that two officers on routine patrol, riverside Police Officers, were ambushed by the suspect dorner. Now, separate from that, earlier this evening, in corona, california or earlier last evening, i should say, an lapd officer on patrol, apparently leaving the freeway. This is according to the lapd, was shot, grazed in the head. If you look at the manifesto from dorner, we can call this a hit list of lapd officers, who he was upset with. Basically, its believed that he is now trying to exact a measure of revenge against all of the people who somehow angered him. And in reading the manifesto, he alluded to being fired. He said terminating me for telling the truth about a caucasian officer kicking a mentally ill person is disgusting. A mentally ill man. A lot of other clues in the manifesto. He was talking about some of his military background, and he said that, you are aware i was always the top shot and the highest scorer and expert in rifle qualifications in every unit. And he goes on to say, i will utilize every bit of small arms training, demolitions, ordinance and survival training. He has a military background. Bone chilling at the end, he said in this manifesto, he would exact revenge on the family members of these officers hes upset with. He said i have the strength and the benefits of being unpredictable. Right now, an all out manhunt for dorner here in about nine california counties. They are trying to basically locate him. And they are very frustrated, because they told us, when we arrive here, they just dont know if hes going to come after any of the officers on scene. Back to you. Paul, the threats are unbelievable. Just to see the officers like sitting ducks out there, nine counties. Palm, stand by for a moment. Barbara starr at the pentagon also has some remarkable information about this suspects past in the military. Barbara, this man knows how to use a rifle. Hes been awarded for his marksmanship. Reporter thats right. The u. S. Navy quickly assembling what records it has on this man. And telling us he was a navy reservist. Just until a few days ago, he separated from the naval service. We dont know when the last time is he showed up. But he has shooting expertise. Lets go through it. According to navy records, he has been awarded the rifle marksman ribbon and the pistol expert medal. These are awarded for achieving a certain level of shooting accuracy at various distances. Lets be clear. The plan is not a navy commander, hes not a navy s. E. A. L. He held a number of jobs as a reservist in Navy Security operations. In fact, he went to iraq, we are told, and had a job providing military security on iraqi oil platforms, to have that job, it is most likely we are told he did receive some advanced weapons training. You will remember back in those days, those oil platforms, a lot of concern about small boat attacks, sniper attacks, that sort of thing. So he clearly has a certain level, a worrisome level of weapons expertise. The police know this. They know what they are dealing with. What he has on hand now in terms of weapons, of course, is the major concern. Ashleigh. Barbara, im reading here his last day of affiliation with the navy as a reservist was february 1st of this year. We are talking about whats astounding here i was going to say he has eight awards, eight different awards including the ones you mentioned. But any idea about his Mental Illness or his Mental Health or anything that the military might have on him . Reporter let me talk about that for a second. We asked about that, because it was astounding, when you look at the record, you and i are looking at the same document, february 1st, 2013 is listed. February 1st as his last day of service in the reservists. What they are trying to figure out, was he on some sort of, if you will, leave, vacation time, separation . Had he basically stopped serving as a reservist some weeks or months before that, and this is the day he was officially taken off the rolls . We are trying to figure that out. The military is trying to figure that out right now. I think its very safe to assume the military trying to share whatever information they are able to with Law Enforcement out in california. And of course, as you look at the pictures that paul is showing out in riverside county. This is all my hometown. The freeways, the distances there, he can get on the freeway, disappear pretty quick. It will be tough to catch this guy. Multiple counties now under this kind of surveillance and watch. They are at the ready. Barbara, stand by, if you will. I want to bring in steve, who is on the phone from valhalla, new york, a former Police Detective and criminal investigator. Steve, you heard how we introduced what kind of a suspect we are dealing with. A former navy lieutenant, Barbara Starr reported he did military security on iraqi oil platforms, he has the rifle marksmanship ribbon and is a former lapd officer. This is one hell of a manhunt. It is. And the most dangerous thing about this man is his mind set. He knows what Law Enforcements plan is, he knows their tactics, he kboes their strengths and weaknesses. So he will know when to strike. And with that marksmanship ability, he could take out Police Officers from hundreds of yards away. And this is like a cles game, only with deadly consequences. Doesnt this go both ways . He knows their tactics, but they also know his as well. Yeah. There is no human being more dangerous than a Police Officer that has military background, that has weaponry the experience in weaponry that he has. Its difficult, because they are hunting him. But hes hunting them. They will never know where hell show up. He has that advantage over Law Enforcement. In the code of blue, isnt this considered the ultimate betrayal . It goes without saying. But take me inside the force in terms of the level of betrayal that this is. We rely on each other, we are brothers and sisters in blue. We depend on one another every day, every minute we wear that uniform. So this is the ultimate act of betrayal, a former Police Officer turning against his own. Theres no more dangerous person on earth that would kill like this, Police Officers. One of his own at the time. Hes one of the most dangerous individuals right now in the united states. We are just looking at live pictures, i hope at the same time you can see them, of officers who are literally at the ready with their weapons. And you can see them every so often literally turning 360, i can only imagine no matter where they are in the nine counties where officers are now sitting ducks, because he opened this manifesto to anyone in the uniform at work or play, how did they prosecute their work . And how do they protect their lives at the same time . They have to be highly diligent, hialegh lely alert. They cant drop their guard. They have to approach every call, every single stop sign that they stop at as a potential threat. It could be a deadly threat. Steve kardian, please standby. We will keep our eyes on this story and update throughout the hour. That manhunt in riverside, california and elsewhere around the la area continues for christopher jordan dorner, 33 years old, exmilitary, excop and vowing in a manifesto to kill anyone in an lapd uniform and their families. Also another story we are following, a community in shock, after a 17yearold boy is found handcuffed in the basement of his own familys home. And get this, police say he had been there for months. We will hear about his ordeal coming up in a live report from kansas city, missouri. Benghazi in the spotlight again. Right now a senate panel is hearing testimony on the pentagons response to the attack on u. S. Facilities there. The senators also asking questions about an internal review following that attack. Defense secretary leon panetta responded to criticism regarding the response time. We were not dealing with a prolonged or continuous assault, which could have been brought to an end by a u. S. Military response. Very simply, although we had forces deployed to the region, time, distance, the lack of an adequate warning, events that moved quickly on the ground prevented a more immediate response. After lunch today, president obamas pick for cia director is going to have to answer for the death by drone overseas. John brennan will go before the Senate Intelligence committee after four years as the president s Counter Terrorism aide during which he championed the use of drones or Unmanned Aircraft to take out perceived threats to the homeland. Even perceived threats who may be u. S. Citizens. A white house agreed only yesterday to give some lawmakers a 50 page legal rationale written by the Justice Department in 2010 outlining their policy on u. S. Citizens abroad who are threats to us and the right to take them out. We will talk more about drones and the law in our legal segment later this hour specifically how it relates to you here at home. Speaking of drones, you know they can and do fire missiles, but they are main lehmaned with cameras. You see footage that came supposedly from a u. S. Drone that ultimately went down in iran 14 months ago. Iran is now saying that some of the newly decoded video is from afghanistan. None of this has been verified.

President says his hope is for humility, that carries over every day. Maybe he should hope for a Prayer Breakfast every day. In about 24 hours, we are really in for a rude awakening here in the northeast. Its coming in the form of a very powerful noreaster. And its stirring up a lot of bad memories. Its expected to hit on the 35th anniversary of that, on your screen is the 1978 blizzard. And if you werent alive or you were too young to remember, it was awful. Or so im toad. Lets get straight to meteorologist chad myers who is standing by. I am very, very confused by what i have been told about this noreaster. Depending what models you are looking at we will get three inches of snow or three and a half feet. I dont understand how it could be so widely diverging. Let me describe the issue we have. And people are saying how come its so wrong . How come you are so widely scattered. 15 years ago we would never have started talking about computer model forecast numbers 48 hours before the storm. Wouldnt have talked about it. We would have said wait, we dont know yet. Wait until we know more. Then 12 hours before the storm we would have given you a number. We looked at all these models, heres the deal. This is the quarterback. Lets go back to the super bowl. This is the wide receiver. The quarterback is going to try to throw a ball here. The wide receiver is going to try to catch it. If they both cross at the same time, this storm doubles in intensity. You get the moisture and the cold and it comes together. And it does what we call a fuji wara effect. They spin around each other. It makes more snow than what we would get if just that rolled across. Which would be six or eight inches. Or if this rolled across, which would be two to three inches. You multiply them together its like superstorm sandy, the cold on one side, the warm on the other. One plus one equaled three. That is what we have here. Rain moving up the east coast, snow coming across parts of the northern plains. And then the winter storm advisories, warnings, watches, bliz afterward warnings for boston, hartford, providence. I could see new york city between six and 12 inches. Yesterday i was thinking probably three, because it was going to be warmer. Now it seems colder, this model is 12. 8 for new york. Then for new york city on the next one here, models are coming in. We have 11. 3. Thats why we are at the 6 to 12 for the city. Look at the numbers east. Three feet for boston. I only have a few seconds. In 1978 i was looking through some of the data, it looks like 500 million in damage back then, which was a lot. I think over 100 people dead. Are we looking at something this lethal . Or are we now in a better place, because we can at least forecast a bit better . If you are on the highway and its snowing and you are stuck, you are putting yourself in danger. It will be that bad. People will perish from this storm. So yes, i hope its not 100. But i95 will get stopped. If you are one of those cars that is stopped and wind chill zero, you cant see, theres going to be trouble. Im glad you said that i think a lot of people think of a big snowstorm and dont think of a lethal snowstorm. Keep on that for us. When you find whether that quarterback will make the pass, please let us know. Chad myers for us in the Severe Weather center. Something special right now. More than 2,000 u. S.
