Los Angeles (CNN) -- A former Los Angeles cop who had allegedly warned he would target law enforcement in retribution for being fired is now suspected of shooting three officers early Thursday, killing one, authorities said.

The shootings -- which come a day after Irvine, California, police named Christopher Jordan Dorner as the suspect in a double slaying there Sunday -- sparked a huge manhunt in Southern California.

The California Highway Patrol issued an alert Thursday morning urging officers in several Southern California counties to be on the lookout for the onetime officer and Navy lieutenant.

Dorner, 33, is suspected of slightly wounding a Los Angeles police officer in Corona, California, early Thursday as the officer was exiting the freeway in that Riverside County town, according to Los Angeles police.

About an hour later, around 1:30 a.m., Riverside police say two of its officers were shot after being ambushed at an intersection, one of them fatally. Police learned of the shooting when a Good Samaritan picked up a police radio and made a distress call on behalf of the wounded officers, Riverside police said.

In addition to Thursday's shootings, Dorner is suspected of the February 3 deaths of Keith Lawrence and Monica Quan in Irvine, according to police there.

In a lengthy letter apparently written by Dorner and provided to CNN by an LAPD source, he allegedly threatened to use his Navy training to harm police officers involved in his case and their families.

"I will bring unconventional and asymmetrical warfare to those in LAPD uniform whether on or off duty," Dorner allegedly wrote in a lengthy letter promising retribution against the department, where he worked from 2005 until 2008.

The letter writer claimed he was terminated after he reported excessive force by a fellow officer, and said his attacks were retribution for his termination, as well as a culture of racism and violence he says continues within the department.

He called the attacks against police "a necessary evil that I do not enjoy but must partake and complete for substantial change to occur within the LAPD and reclaim my name."

In Riverside, police sealed off intersections in the downtown neighborhood where the two officers had been shot. Police, some of them in SWAT gear, carried assault rifles on their shoulders, their fingers on the trigger guards.

Los Angeles police warned people who encounter Dorner not to approach him, saying he is likely "armed and extremely dangerous."

"Our department is implementing all measures possible to ensure the safety of our LAPD personnel, their families and the Los Angeles community, and will continue to do so until Dorner is apprehended and all threats have been abated," police said in a statement.

Dorner is a former U.S. Navy Reserve lieutenant who worked with river warfare units and a mobile inshore undersea warfare unit, among other assignments, according to Pentagon records obtained by CNN. He also provided security on oil platforms in Iraq.

He was rated as a rifle marksman and pistol expert, according to the records.

His last day in the Navy was Feb. 1, according to the records.

Perhaps you should retitle your thread. To most here, "Cal" would mean Calgary, not California. Got me worried.

In Torrance, California, LAPD officers guarding one of those people opened fire early Thursday morning on a blue pickup truck that resembled the one Dorner is said to be driving, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said. The gunfire left two people wounded in what Beck said was a case of mistaken identity.

The truck was a newspaper delivery vehicle, a senior law enforcement source said. The source said Torrance police fired on another blue pickup truck in the city, but no one was injured.

Police have good reason to be fearful, the chief said.

Don't be driving a blue pickup in Californa today!

Wow,he writes pretty well for a guy on meth.I`m guessing he stayed up for 2 days straight working this all up.I have a feeling that he might have some legitimate complaints about the Force but shooting a girl and her boyfriend seem awfully counter to his argument.
Classic Cool,I think you are right about the movie.Who plays the nutcase?I`m thinking Samuel L. Jackson.Or Mike Tyson.

Not to condone that nutcase, but if the police are randomly shooting at blue pickups then maybe he has a point.

If you guys get KTLA news the cops are now involved in the stupidest "high speed" chase in history in the same town.They have 10 cars chasing a white SUV that stops at every traffic light on the route and waits for it to change.A women is driving,she stops and waits at the light........10 cars stop and wait too.
I think they are gun shy.
Check it out,Helicopter view,just like the COPS parody on My Name Is Earl.

And what exactly is he "wanting to be"? It seems he has the training and know how to do what ever it is he choose's, can't see Cops having the training or intelligence to deal with rouge army personel.

Timothy Mcveigh was also considered a war hero or atleast a perfect soldier. When military go rogue it's damn scary.

OK. Who here thinks the media is secretly cheering this guy on? If he gets caught now, it would spoil their story.

Yeah. I'm that cynical about the media.

It's kind of ironic that he is for gun control, no?
