Shooting suspect Christopher Jordan Dorner. (Reuters) Christopher Dorner was engaged in a shootout with federal authorities in the Big Bear, Calif., area today, a law enforcement source told The Los Angeles Times. Dorner, a former LAPD officer, has evaded authorities since Wednesday when he was named as the suspect in two slayings, a crime that preceded a wave of violence. Two men charged in the fatal shooting of Hadiya Pendleton mistook one of her companions for a gang rival, later telling police that the girl "had nothing to do with it. She was just there," prosecutors said today. The Chicago Bulls today had a muted reaction to Derrick Rose's comments in a USA Today interview that he won't return from knee rehab until he's "110 percent," and that he's "far away" from that right now. |
