33 of the Day #2: Krazy Kop on the Loose
Of course he's 33:
Even before authorities had confirmed that the torched pickup truck
discovered on a quiet forest road belonged to suspected gunman
Christopher Dorner, 33, officials had ordered an emergency lockdown of
local businesses, homes and the town's popular ski resorts. Parents were
told to pick up their children from school, as rolling yellow buses
might pose a target to an unpredictable fugitive on the run.
By nightfall, many residents had barricaded their doors as they prepared for a long, anxious evening.
"We're all just stressed," said Andrea Burtons as she stocked up on
provisions at a convenience store. "I have to go pick up my brother and
get him home where we're safe."
Police ordered the lockdown about 9:30 a.m. as authorities throughout
Southern California launched an immense manhunt for the former lawman,
who is accused of killing three people as part of a long-standing grudge
against the LAPD. Dorner is believed to have penned a long, angry manifesto on Facebook saying that he was unfairly fired from the force and was now seeking vengeance.
