Later on February 7th, he took advantage of the gap when a police car ran a red light, approached the police car on a motorcycle and shot at the car with an automatic rifle, causing 1 policeman to die on the spot and 1 person to be seriously injured. In the morning, the police found Donovan's LAPD badge and ID card near San Diego airport. Donovan was fired by LAPD in 2008 because he "made a false statement". According to Donovan's own description, he was fired because he complained that a colleague had beaten the suspect in violation of regulations. He said that at that time, he saw that the suspect had been subdued and my colleague kicked him. On the left is the suspect Christopher Donovan.
After being fired, Donovan joined the US Navy, served in the naval ground forces, and was deployed to Bahrain and other places. He has won the National Defense Service Medal, the Iraq Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, the Naval Service Medal, the Navy Overseas Service Ribbon, the US Army Reserve Medal, the Rifle Sharpshooter Ribbon and the Pistol Expert Medal. Donovan said in the statement, "The tree of freedom must be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants. The above quotation is not directed at the US government. I 100% support the government. My goal is LAPD, which can no longer supervise itself. They should not force the victim to sign the consent judgment, not at all! " LAPD is in danger, and the whole of Los Angeles is on high alert. Thousands of police officers, including those in Southern California and Nevada, were ordered to search Donovan. Nearly10,000 heavily armed Los Angeles police patrol the city in police cars. The police set up checkpoints at many key sections for inspection. County-level armed police in surrounding districts and counties also participated in the search and arrest on duty. On February 7, because it was reported that Donovan had appeared near the Loma naval base of the US Navy, members of the base navy and the police had launched a joint search nearby.
The US Navy and the Los Angeles police jointly warned that Dono, a naval base, was a retired naval ground crew member, equipped with a rifle sharpshooter ribbon and a pistol expert medal. He also claimed that he was well-equipped, and the police had confirmed that Donovan had weapons such as automatic rifles. At the same time, Donovan said in the statement, "Don't think that conventional threat prediction methods can be useful to me. I've fought a dozen terrorist organizations, and they can't hurt me. Do not deploy airships or helicopters. I have SA-7 portable air defense missiles. As you know, I also have a Barrett.50 heavy sniper rifle, so your armored vehicle is a good target. " In view of this, the Los Angeles police have recalled all motorcycle mounted police teams, because motorcycles patrolling alone without any protective measures will become an excellent target for Donovan. Southern California police are on full alert, and thousands of police officers have been ordered to deploy near the residences of LAPD senior officials and their families to prevent Donovan from launching attacks and retaliation. On the same day, Los Angeles Sheriff Charlie Baker held a press conference in the basement of the Los Angeles Police Building, vowing to do his best to hunt down and capture Donovan by "house-to-house search". The director of LAPD held a press conference, but Donovan claimed that he knew LAPD's countermeasures like the back of his hand. "I know your technical and tactical plan. Threat assessment is useless. This matter is very simple. I know all your plans and event regression analysis techniques. I will surpass all your threat predictions. Your ORM (risk management measures) will help me, and I will surpass all risks, threats and disasters. I assure you that the crisis center will be a "target-rich environment". The KMA-367 license plate frame unique to the alert party in Los Angeles will become my target indicator, making it easier for me to choose a target. " He also warned LAPD: "It is best to keep all policemen's radios/cell phones on all the time, no matter when they go to work." "Don't try to use intelligence analysis to deal with me. I have a supply list, which lists the performance of all technical vehicles you have equipped and the home addresses of all intelligence analysts. I will always be vigilant and will not relax. This will be a war, a friction war, and for me personally, it will be a losing battle. You have manpower and material resources, but your plan and tactical plan are still flawed. I can't predict, never confront and never forgive. This is my advantage. Don't waste time on desk work and briefing. "
Under great pressure, the police even shot and killed three innocent vehicles on the night of February 7, just because the vehicles they were driving were very similar to Donovan's. In the incident of police shooting, the police injured two women in the car, one of whom was shot twice and was seriously injured. All owners of dark Nissan pickup trucks in Southern California are afraid to go out on the street. Donovan said that he knew he was "bound to be slandered by the LAPD", but "I'm not afraid of death, I'm already dead". At present, the search for Donovan by the Los Angeles police continues. After all the police in Los Angeles dispatched to search for the shooting incident of retired soldiers in Los Angeles, the police in the city set up checkpoints on the main roads to intercept suspicious vehicles because they found that the murderer was driving a blue-gray Nissan pickup truck. From 5 am local time to noon today, the police have shot at three Japanese dark pickup trucks driven by innocent civilians, causing three innocent drivers to be injured. At present, the suspect has not been arrested. Notices have been posted on various highways in Los Angeles this morning, asking people to call the police immediately if they find dark Nissan pickup trucks. Yesterday, a Navy Secret Service soldier Donovan successively killed the families of a policeman and two policemen in Los Angeles, and seriously injured two other policemen. The man tweeted that he was an official of LAPD and was fired for accusing his colleagues of abusing violence. Later, he joined the army, and the families of the two policemen he killed were the daughters and sons-in-law of the boss who set him up. At the same time, he sent a letter to LAPD through social networks to "declare war" and said that he would launch a "guerrilla war" against LAPD. Later, the police found through surveillance video that this person was driving a blue-gray Japanese "Nissan" pickup truck. LAPD immediately ordered the city to be sealed off and searched. At about 5: 00 a.m.15 a.m., the police saw a blue Nissan pickup truck and immediately shot into the car, but there were two innocent women in it. Fortunately, their lives are not in danger. Subsequently, the Los Angeles police strafed a blue Toyota pickup truck in Torres, and the driver was injured. Soon, LAPD opened fire again at Rhodes Beach. This time, a black Honda pickup truck was shot and another innocent driver was injured. It has been found that the vehicle driven by the murderer has been abandoned and set on fire.
Earlier, Los Angeles Sheriff Smith reminded people to be extra careful because Donovan was armed and had a tendency to shoot innocent civilians. This morning, the police found that the Nissan pickup truck driven by Donovan had been set on fire. Obviously, it has been transferred to other vehicles. Chinese in Los Angeles said that most residents in Southern California said they were afraid to drive Japanese dark pickup trucks to the streets.
