$1 million reward for information leading to capture of Chris #Dorner

Authorities in Los Angeles have offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the capture of a fired LAPD officer sought in connection with a series of killings and threats against his former colleagues and their families.

A second reward, worth $100,000, could also be on the way, a spokesman for Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich said Sunday.

Manhunt continues in mountains around Big Bear Lake, where Christopher Dorner's burned out truck was found on Feb. 7, with what was described as a "Broken Axle" and hundreds of officers patrolled the neighborhoods where people live who were threatened by Dorner in an online screed.

Investigators on Saturday were also trying to determine whether the truck's axle was broken when they found it, or if it was fractured while being towed from the forestry road.

Every day that Dorner is loose, said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, is another day when the likelihood of attack on a police officer increases.

"We are asking the public, 'Please help us to protect you,' " LAPD chief Charlie Beck said at a news conference. "Please help us to find Dorner before he is able to kill again."

Dorner is wanted in the slayings of three people and the ambush-style shooting of two others, all part of a revenge-style rampage that began last Sunday, when he allegedly shot the daughter of a police union lawyer and her fiancé in an Irvine parking garage.

How fires get their names

Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. In most cases, the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland fire will designate a name for the fire, but the first on scene engine or fire official can also name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start – a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake, mountain, peak, etc. Quickly naming the fire provides responding fire resources with an additional locater, and allows fire officials to track and prioritize incidents by name. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003, the largest wildland fire in California history, the Cedar Fire in San Diego County, was named after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive Old Fire, which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County, was named after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
