Something about this pic is a little disturbing

94. The women were delivering papers

Threw a paper to a house being guarded by LAPD since the residents were among those threatened by Christopher Dorner. Dorner was reported to be driving a blue or gray truck - the women were driving a blue truck.

In the middle of the night the officers guarding the house saw a truck similar to the description of the suspect's, and object thrown out of the truck, and the truck driving away. Not surprising that they reacted, but they over reacted by firing on the truck without making an attempt to identify who the occupants of the vehicle were.

Dorner was already named a suspect in the murder of the daughter of a retired LAPD captain and her fiance; had already shot three police officers in two different incidents, killing one and severely injuring another. He's named a long list of LAPD officers and their families as targets. He's a qualified sniper and may have explosives.

LAPD is justifiably paranoid and are stretched in trying to guard families of their fellow officers while also trying to protect themselves. But they are handling it badly. The incident with the newspaper delivery women is not the only one. Another vehicle was rammed and the driver shot at through his windshield just because it was a truck that superficially matched the suspect's - neither truck in those two incidents was of the same make as the suspect's.
