Here's Everything We Know About The Most Hunted Man In California

dorner military weapon

Police are scouring the mountains at Big Bear winter resort 100 miles away from Los Angeles for a man accused of shooting three cops, one of whom died, and killing two civilians.

But how did Christopher Dorner become the most hunted man in California?

The Daily Breeze has a detailed story about Dorner's life. Here are the highlights, combined with what we know from other sources:

  • In an online manifesto posted before the attack, Dorner said he was the victim of racism beginning in first grade when he was a student at Norwalk Christian school in Norwalk, Calif., according to the Breeze. He wrote that he was the only "black kid" at the school and said he was often disciplined for fighting.

  • He detailed his first fight in his manifesto, according to the Breeze. "A fellow student called me a (racial epithet). My response was swift and non-lethal. I struck him fast and hard with a punch an (sic) kick. He then for some unknown reason swatted me for striking (the student). How dare you swat me for standing up for my rights for demanding that I be treated as an equal human being. That day I made a life decision that I will not tolerate racial derogatory terms spoken to me."

  • Dorner was briefly married to an undercover narcotics officer, according to KABC. The two married in April 2007 but separated a month later.

  • Dorner has a fraught history with the Los Angeles Police Department. He was fired from the department in 2009 for allegedly making false statements about his training officer, The Los Angeles Times reported. 

  • According to the Breeze, the dispute with his training officer began nearly five years ago when Dorner and his training officer responded to a call at a local hotel because a mentally ill man refused to leave. The two fought with the man until he was shot with a Taser. But Dorner and his training officer differed in the reports of the incident. "The discrepancy became an obsession for Dorner, who claimed his training officer brutally and unnecessarily kicked the man in the collarbone and face," the Breeze reported.

  • Dorner filed a lawsuit against the department in October 2011. In the lawsuit he criticized the department for what he saw as an unjust firing.

  • Monica Quan, a Cal State Fullerton assistant basketball coach who was one of Dorner's alleged victims, was the daughter of an LAPD captain who was reportedly involved in Dorner's firing. "I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I'm terminating yours," Dorner reportedly said in a Facebook posting directed at the captain.

Everything You Need To Know About The New BlackBerry Phone (BBRY)

BlackBerry Z10

BlackBerry's new smartphone, the BlackBerry Z10, has finally arrived after months and months of delays. 

Unlike other BlackBerrys, the Z10 doesn't have a physical keyboard. It's all touchscreen. (However, BlackBerry will launch a new phone with a keyboard called the Q10 in May or June).

The Z10 won't launch in the U.S. until mid-March, but we reviewed the final unlocked model here

Now check out the gallery below for photos of the device.

Here's the BlackBerry Z10. It's a little taller and thicker than the iPhone 5, and it has a slightly larger screen. You can swipe up from the lock screen to unlock the device.

Here's the main home screen. BlackBerry 10 displays your apps in a grid of icons, just like the iPhone does.

You don't need a home button to get around BB10; you control everything with swipes and gestures. For example, when you have an app open, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and keep your finger still to get a peek at your current notifications on the left side.
