It doesn’t get any messier as Los Angeles police officers, involved in a statewide manhunt for an ex-LAPD colleague, came across vehicles matching the one sought by authorities in massive manhunt at two separate locations.

The first location in Torrance involved Los Angeles police detectives from the Hollywood division, who got caught up in an officer involved shooting, which resulted in gunfire injuring two women that had been delivering newspapers. They have since been transported to an area hospital.

The incident took place at approximately 5:20 a.m. in the 19500 block of Redbeam Avenue according to sources. The extent of their injures has not been made public.

The second incident involved Torrance police, and occurred at Flagler Lane and Beryl Street at approximately 5:45 a.m. No injuries were reported in that incident.

I wouldn't be driving a truck for a while if I were in SOCAL. Just might get all shot up.

... that’s two separate incidents now where police opened fire on a vehicle that they say looked similar to Dorner’s truck.

I hope someone has told the police that his truck has been found and they can stop shooting at every truck that drives by now.

But now, if they don’t know what he’s driving, no one is safe.

The truck didn’t even remotely match the one they were looking for.

The two women that had been shot by Los Angeles police detectives in Torrance were reportedly delivering newspapers. According to a witness, one woman was shot in the back, while another was shot in the hand.

Did the truck have something like “NEWS VAN” or something similar so those Neanderthal cops wouldn’t be shooting at it. I bet it had a dog in there and they heard it barking.

Apparently, it’s enough to cause LAPD employees to lose bladder control.

Oh, and trigger control.

There was no excuse for the shoot, their careers are over and the ladies are going to the bank.

In any scenario, the cops knew they were looking for one black guy, why shoot at two people? The cops SOP is to check the license plate, what happened?

Looks like the S CA cops are pretty jumpy. This is exactly what Dorner wants.

Reminds me of that scene in Almost Heroes when they unload on the squirrel with the nut in its paws.
