SANTA MARIA, Calif.- One chief close to the murders that started the search for Christopher Dorner explains what police officers have had to deal with.
"To go after his daughter and kill his daughter and her fiancé, that's just unthinkable," said Police Chief Ralph Martin, Santa Maria Police Department.
As a former Los Angeles County Sheriff's Commander, Police Chief Ralph Martin says he can't imagine what his former colleague and retired Los Angeles Police Captain, Randal Quan, is going through, after murder suspect, Christopher Dorner, is accused of killing his daughter and her fiancé.
"I know a lot of these people and worked with them for almost 36 years so a lot of these people I know very well," explained Martin.
According to Martin, it's something you can never fully prepare for, when a fellow officer turns a gun on their own, like Dorner did.
"He knows tactics, he knows communications, he knows our weaponry and he can off set that somewhat with his own so there is a real fear there that he could use the training against us," said Martin.
A fear that came earlier Tuesday when Dorner allegedly shot and killed a San Bernardino County Sheriff's officer.
"It's amazing that he's at least held out this long and the anger he must have for the things that have unfolded is something I can't fathom," said Martin.
