The Manhunt

Dorner had fired at least 13 times with his armor-piercing assault rifle. Both officers were rushed to Riverside Community Hospital. 

In early February, Christopher Dorner went on a spree in Southern California, killing four people, including three police officers. He was the subject of one of the largest manhunts in LAPD history. 

After the discovery of two bodies, shot to death in a parking garage, Dorner published a manifesto on his Facebook page, arguing his dismissal from the LAPD was unjust, and demanding an apology from superiors. 

A few days later, he was charged with one murder and the attempted murder of three police officers. 

After several days of hunting, Dorner was cornered in a cabin in the mountains, and officers eventually burned it down, during which he took his own life. Police asked media to stop live-tweeting the seige. 

Over the following 10 months, the LA Times conducted more than 400 interviews, and scoured thousands of pages of court documents, police and coroner reports, and military records to reconstruct the events
