SAN BERNARDINO (KTLA) — Police evacuated an apartment complex in San Bernardino early Sunday after a report that fugitive Christopher Dorner was hiding there.
Tenants awoke to a swarm of armed cops circling Eureka Manor in San Bernardino.
It all happened around 1:30 a.m. on Sunday at 1525 E. Eureka Street. The raid was captured on cell phone video obtained exclusively by KTLA.
SWAT officers stormed a corner apartment as helicopters flew overhead. As a precaution, police ordered residents out through back windows.
The Dorner sighting turned out to be a false alarm — prompted by an apparent prank call.
“The officers came today and kicked in my door,” resident Nini Hamilton, whose apartment was the target of the raid, told KTLA.
“I got into a confrontation with some girls and they made a fake call and said that Christoper Dorner was in my apartment,” she explained.
“They said that I went up there to Big Bear and picked him up and had him in my car and brought him down here to my apartment.”
“I don’t know him, never seen him a day in my life,” she insisted. “Only on the news.”
As the complex went into lockdown, resident Tiquiese Anthony said they had to stand against the wall, and police asked for all the adults’ names and birthdays.
“They were telling us to pop our trunk to see if he was in the trunk,” Anthony recalled. They had their guns drawn on us.”
“Yes, I was fighting, and I was scared, especially for my kids,” another resident said of the ordeal.
It remains unclear if the person who made the call will face charges. Authorities say there will likely be more false alarms as they continue to search for Dorner.

surprised noone got shot, or did they ?? the two trucks that were shot up was first reported as unrelated to the dorner incident, an attempted cover-up, maybe, either he is long gone or laying in wait. lapd has brought this on themselves. 7 cops suspended with pay, dorner tells the truth and he is fired, something seriously wrong here. Offering to buy the ladies a new truck is a serious insult !! Never ending BS !!
Don't think this man is acting alone, you will have to offer a whole lot for people to step to the plate and turn him in, i don't condone the killings by no means, he has a lot of people on his side after the manifesto that told the truth about the lapd.

Welcome to my new neighborhood
February 10, 2013 at 11:40 AM
in my humble opinion DORNER is dead, frozen…
February 10, 2013 at 12:08 PM
Here my humble opinion, RUN Dorner RUN as fast as u can…
February 10, 2013 at 12:22 PM
LAPD, the world is watching. Thinking that you can smoke him out by re-opening is case is laughable and offering a million dollar bounty is insane. It only shows the desperation and incompetence of a bunch of cops wanting to stop their secrets from getting out.
February 10, 2013 at 1:02 PM
Just got back from you tube on police brutality in LA….OMG !!! You guys down there need more Chris Dorner's to stand up, minus the killings. It's obvious the lapd are out of control and have been for a long time. Innocent citizens being targeted for nothing !!! Now you offer a million dollars for info leading to what ?? his arrest or death ?? I'm starting to understand just what you people have to live with every day, sooooo sad…Someone needs to bring in the FBI to investigate further, i truly believe dorner and what he has had to say !! so sorry chris things are coming to a no win situation. News conference soon, let's see how much more BS we will here. lapd—–laughing stock !!!
February 10, 2013 at 4:05 PM
STAY in Canada. We don't need YOUR b.s., AND you can shove it where the sun doesn't shine.
February 10, 2013 at 4:18 PM
More than happy to stay here , you need our brains, the sun shines brightly up here, so happy we don't have to deal with racist a holes like you
February 10, 2013 at 4:21 PM
wow, I live in CA and I hope this makes the COPS think twice about what they think they can get away with, Dorner's actions should be punished but so should the LAPD and their corrupt ways, Dorner has opend a can of worms and LAPD is scared cause their lies are being exposed, I have listened to first hand knowlege of someone who works for LAPD and Sherifs who stated to me that cops think of us normal people as skum and dont follow the rules or care to even try
February 10, 2013 at 4:25 PM
your the laughing stock ..lol
February 11, 2013 at 9:33 AM
I live in SoCal and i agree we do need someone like him without the murders. Unless your one of them your nothing but a head count.
February 10, 2013 at 1:02 PM
Thanks Chief Beck for now including the general populous in Dorner's target list.
The million dollar reward puts all citizens on the same playing field as the crooked cops in the manifesto… We are all targets out to get him now. You have created a virtually unlimited and justified (in his mind) target rich environment for this demented miscreant by making every citizen a threat to his goals… Thanks for putting my family in this compromised situation Chief Beck!!! And of course in LA County I MAY not get a concealed carry permit as the Constitution and second amendment says I SHALL.. I think you MAY want to consider making LA a SHALL issue concealed carry county immediately with this million dollar death sentence you have imposed upon every citizens head. We were not threats to him befrore this, now we are all threats to his goals. Dumb dude, real dumb move
February 10, 2013 at 1:50 PM
Sooooo happy to be a Canadian, i can't believe what i just heard !!! Domestic terrorist !! What about those cops that fired on those trucks with no justification, what do you call that, target practice ? Don't you think they were terrorised !! Didn't hear anything about them in that silly news conference, Now they will pay you a million to turn him in, and all along asking for your help to begin with for free, seems to me they are at a dead end here and grasping at straws. They realize they are the hunted and not the hunter.
February 10, 2013 at 3:11 PM
sorry but killing people makes you a murderer.
February 10, 2013 at 4:35 PM
I totally understand, what were the cops doing firing on those newspaper ladies ?? thank god they wern't murdered !!
February 10, 2013 at 5:07 PM
WHY ARE CANDIANS ALWAYS ON KTLA?
February 11, 2013 at 6:15 AM
We love KTLA !!
February 10, 2013 at 5:23 PM
What does being American, Canadian, or any nationality have to do with it? You don't think this can happen in Canada or any where else?
February 10, 2013 at 2:33 PM
Christopher, You have to stop killing innocent people. I was framed by a racist cop about 20 years ago for something I didn't do. I was angry for a long time, but learned to forgive him. Every cop is not bad, or racist. Racist people will always be here and your actions will not change that. Turn yourself in.
February 10, 2013 at 5:56 PM
Since Chief Beck first authorized 'death squads' and then said they were doing a 'bang up job' (until critical voices were raised), I see no reason why Dorner should choose to 'turn himself in,' since doing so will in all likelihood mean a sentence of death by extra-judicial execution. I do wish Dorner would heed Shakespeare's injunction (from "Measure for Measure"): "Oh it is excellent to have a giant's power. But it is tyrannous to use it as a giant."
February 10, 2013 at 2:42 PM
To KTLA, CNN and the rest of the media, real brilliant to let everyone know the name of the officer killed and when the funeral will be, in my opinion dorner is laying in wait, thanks for letting us all know the funeral will be this wednesday, dorner wants to kill cops, i pray he has no access to media, if he does and he chooses to act this will be a shooting gallery for him. So smarten up and watch what you say until he is caught !!
February 10, 2013 at 3:16 PM
Perhaps now the LAPD would have to shoot at any black male that fits the general
description of Dorner to catch him. Dorner has proved to be smarter than the LAPD. But tthat's not that difficult since most cops are pretty stupid any way.
February 10, 2013 at 4:30 PM
Actually those old ladies in the pickup truck don't look like Dorner at all. I think they are willing to kill anyone they fear.
February 11, 2013 at 9:37 AM
Yup….I know alot of my friends who look similiar to Dorner they are staying inside..lol
February 10, 2013 at 3:23 PM
YOU GUYS MUST READ DORNER'S MANIFESTO HERE: http://scoot.net/gallery/bbs/dornergif.gif
shows how corrupt LAPD is….
February 10, 2013 at 3:23 PM
It's going to be more difficult for the LAPD to find Dorner now because the public is disgusted with them and might even support Dorner of his causes.
The losers will be the LAPD regardless of the outcome of this ordeal.
February 10, 2013 at 3:23 PM
The lapd is the biggest crooked gang in America
February 10, 2013 at 6:02 PM
What about The NYPD Chicago PD I'm sure they're just as bad
February 11, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. NYPD, Chicago, then maybe LAPD. Don't forget Miami.
February 11, 2013 at 5:19 PM
NYPD is right up there with them my friend….
February 10, 2013 at 3:26 PM
Most cops are suffering with some kinds of psychological problems. Their ego seems to be far bigger than the mental capcity. No one in the right mind would help the cops to find Dorner.
February 10, 2013 at 3:27 PM
here's the link to the uncensored version of the manifesto — BTW where's FOX news, Geraldo and others when you need them?… this not only SMELL's like a cover-up by the LAPD — it is !!! I hope every single one of the LAPD leadership involved is held accountable for NOT speaking up — Just like JoePa Paterno … http://boywithgrenade.org/2013/02/07/christopher-…
February 11, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Some LAPD mouthpiece said that they would "redact parts of his manifesto". Good luck with that. The entire Facebook statement is all over the web now. And once something like that goes viral, you can't suppress it. It's there forever.
February 10, 2013 at 4:18 PM
I think it's sick that Mark Fuhrman is on the Sean Hannity show or anywhere else…
February 10, 2013 at 4:23 PM
no is corrupt and not ramblings, this does not give him a right to kill but its the truth and thats why he was fired
February 10, 2013 at 4:24 PM
it's
February 10, 2013 at 4:31 PM
Just because he appears mentally unstable and may be a murdering coward, that doesn't mean the LAPD isn't corrupt.
February 10, 2013 at 4:57 PM
To formerlaresident, you have a beef with us canadians throwing are 2 cents in ? you could learn a little if you wern't so butt headed. Come join us we live peacefully here with a few rouge cops, sorry to hear you are in the situation you are, but unfortunately for you freedom of speech exsits here to…lol…at you..lol
February 10, 2013 at 5:02 PM
Dorner was racist, he couldn't stand the fact that he had a white/female training officer, who knew more then him.
February 10, 2013 at 10:53 PM
Probably more truth than poetry to that. Jigs are racist. Just ax one.
February 11, 2013 at 10:02 AM
Actually, he didn't have a white/female training officer. He does have white, female superiors who he described as "acting vindictively" towards ALL THE MEN IN THE DEPARTMENT.
Reading comprehension 101.
February 10, 2013 at 5:46 PM
I really dont understand why so many people are cheering this guy on..? I mean he is killing people that have nothing to do with his firing. How is it OK to start killing people who had nothing to do with anything?? I really dont understand you people. PS: and it wouldn't be alright to kill people for simply firing someone anyways – so however you look at this he is a simple killer.
February 10, 2013 at 9:15 PM
Innocent or guilty it's two sides to a story. We should know doth sides of the story, not just the side the L.A.P.D. or the Medea wants us to here.
February 10, 2013 at 10:06 PM
why? Dorner's hand are far less bloodier than the LAPD or most of the local PDs. That's why.
February 10, 2013 at 5:50 PM
If you think Willie`s story is super…, in the last month my boy frends brother basically earnt $7067 workin fourteen hours a week an their house and there buddy's sister`s neighbour has done this for 9-months and got paid over $7067 part-time On their laptop. apply the tips at this site.,…….. http://xurl.es/a7qkr
February 10, 2013 at 5:54 PM
This makes them look like the Keystone Kops from the old movies.
February 10, 2013 at 6:18 PM
LAPD is out of control with mistaken idenity. It's a miracle they didn't shoot this man too. I guess they will bust into the Grammy's tonight and hold LL Cool J and Ruben Studdard at gun point too!
February 10, 2013 at 6:21 PM
Dorner wasnt racist he had both black and white friends and the news today said his training officer was black.
February 10, 2013 at 6:44 PM
Why do People have to be so money Hungry even if he killed a Person why turn him in to the cops all he was trying to do is say the truth about the Corruption of the LAPD first he Served his country and now this jerks are trying to kill him if anybody sees him don't turn him in it don't matter what Race he is we are all brothers and sisters you wouldn't like it if it was one of your love ones that's just what I think god bless you all
February 10, 2013 at 6:49 PM
1 Adam 12, 1 Adam 12, Dorner one the loose, proceed with caution, armed and dangerous,..knives and weapons, Code 3….where is officer Pete Milloy and Jim Reed when you really need them?? KTLA should start playing re runs, i loved the lapd then, what has gone so wrong ??
February 10, 2013 at 7:56 PM
It's more like Car 54 Where are You?
February 11, 2013 at 3:26 AM
LOL
February 10, 2013 at 6:51 PM
Dorner's manifesto basically declared war on the cops. Now anyone can take a shot at the cops and Dorner will get the blame! All Dorner needs to do is hide out and watch the carnage unfold. I mean, nobody's seen this guy since Feb 1, almost 10 days ago, yet there have been 3 killings, and three (at least) attempted murders by the cops themselves.
I read his manifesto, and I'm sure he's correct about the corruption in the department, but then he starts rambling clearly going off the rails. I can appreciate how he feels cheated by the system, trying to do the right thing and getting basically burned at the stake for it, some people just commit suicide when that happens, most of us just suck it up and start over. Not this guy.
I'll be surprised if we see him surface, he basically built a powder keg around the LAPD, lit the fuse and walked away. Now he's probably holed up somewhere watching them self destruct. They've taken shots at three already, lucky they haven'y killed anyone. They probably will before it's over. I would sure hate to be a large black man in this town right now.
February 10, 2013 at 9:43 PM
Well, apparently being two Hispanic women isn't much safer
February 10, 2013 at 7:32 PM
It seems that with all the media and LE feeding the public a bunch of garbage, CD is holding all of the cards and freaking the powers that be out.
Must suck to be a cop right about now.
Big time!!!
I'm loven it!
February 10, 2013 at 7:40 PM
Unfortunately, the 1 million dollars reward has a downside. It will increase more money and manpower for all the future false sightings. This guy round shape face/head has familiar of many people. Already within the past hours,there been two sightings one at the San Bernardino Apartments and Lowe's in Northridge. As long as it was no reward, there were no sightings. In other words a quite weekend and less news. I pretty sure without a reward, he would have eventually surface right under ones nose.
February 10, 2013 at 9:49 PM
I was disgusted when a LAPD commander revealed officers had made more than a couple hundred felony stops (guns drawn) of than a couple hundred (individuals matching Dorner’s description.
This commander went on to characterize these contacts as “a minor inconvenience” for the people.

All cops are criminals with badges. Defend the 2nd amendment. It is the only way to defend yourself and not end up shot on sight by the government.
February 10, 2013 at 11:49 PM
Dormer is not a threat to the community. The government is using our money to protect itself.
February 11, 2013 at 9:42 AM
Yup he is only a threat to officers. Most of America thinks he is a hero, kinda like Rambo..me I think he is a hero but should kill innocent people.
February 11, 2013 at 12:04 AM
Mr. Mayor, it is obvious which community is threatened, and thereby offering $1M, to protect itself from Doner. What are you willing to offer civilians as compensation when your police paramitary shoots first.
February 11, 2013 at 8:52 AM
No matter what, he is a cold blooded killer and a coward.
February 11, 2013 at 9:59 AM
Not really much of a rambler, and really, not that much of a coward. I read the manifesto and it actually makes a whole lot of sense. He exhausted every legal means of getting his life back, so now, he's going to scare the corruption out of the force. While I don't like the fact he's killing people, the fact of the manner is corrupt cops kill people and destroy lives on a whim. Now he's giving it back to them.
Karma's a b!tch.
February 11, 2013 at 10:45 AM
LAPD SCARED SH##LESS=$1MILLION REWARD
CHRISTOPHER DORMER=PRICELESS
February 11, 2013 at 2:41 PM
I was there and it was VERY SCARY. Im happy no one got hurt and my kids remained calm. We were the family that had to climb out of my bedroom window with m16′s pointed at us. I hope no mre innocent ppl are affected by this man and they catch him soon.
February 11, 2013 at 4:20 PM
the fact of the matter is Dorner is a criminal and killed people. He's acting like he's some sort of Kommando. He needs to be caught. Assault rifles should be banned. Think of the children. This has gone too far. Dorner f you see this you need to turn yourself in.
February 11, 2013 at 7:53 PM
This disregard for life (none cop), disrespect and mistreatment of people is why police are so dispised. My question is, los angeles has no $ for schools, books, laying off teachers but in matter of hour they come up with this million $ plus bounty for one man. I wouldn’t turn him in for no amt of $. The cops r the ” domestic terrorist” cops frieghten me.
