Dorner manhunt leads LAPD to Lowe's store in Northridge

The manhunt for Christopher Dorner led LAPD SWAT officers to a Northridge Lowe's home improvement store after people reported seeing someone who resembled the fugitive former police officer there.

LAPD swarmed the store off Nordhoff Street about 5 p.m. Customers were escorted out of the store as police looked for any signs of Dorner.

LAPD stressed that it was an unconfirmed sighting.

[Updated 7:27 p.m.: A law enforcement source said the call to the Lowe's might have been related to a couple fighting outside the store].

There have been several reports similar to this one in recent days that didn't pan out.

Like wise if I drove a vehicle similar to the one Dorner drives(or did drive)I would stop using it or risk winding up shot full of holes like those poor women paper carriers.

LAPD is on the lookout for a vehicle with four wheels and a license plate.

The only good things the cops here in Socal are good at is posing for pics with tourists and handing out traffic tickets.

LA won’t be safe until Dorner is caught.

The LAPD is making sure of that.

“said the call to the Lowe’s might have been related to a couple fighting outside the store”

Must have been a 170 lb guy and his 100lb wife fighting over who was going to have to use the newly purchased plunger. Easy to confuse with a 270lb guy carrying a man pad.

And if I were an Asian woman or a white man I would buy level IV body armor and hide in the basement for a week.

Honestly I think the police are just culling owners of pickups at this point.

LOL but imagine the carnage if the sighting were at a pet store or a dog park.

“If I were a bulky bald black fellow in SoCal, I’d call my boss and tell him that I think I’d need to work from home for at least a week, or take a short term leave of absence.”

Maybe women and skinny white guys should stay at home too. The police can’t seem to tell the difference.

This could be fun. I just saw him going into the Southern Poverty Law Center headquarters wearing a realistic "Morris Dees" mask. He had a gun. Better shoot first and ask questions later, because that's worked so well for you up to now.

No, wait - I saw him going into the Senate Building, wearing a realistic Chuck Schumer mask and wearing a gun. Better stop him before he hurts anyone else.

Were any walls in the store left standing?

He has been preparing for a long time. He’s not walking into stores. If someone really sees him he’s only poked his head out to murder some more people.

The women delivering newspapers that the LA cops shot up weren’t black, bald or bulky. Everyone in Southern California is at risk from these cop clowns. If someone reported Dorner buying kitty litter in a San Diego WalMart, you can bet that a clown car filled with a platoon of LA’s finest would motor over.
