Southern California officials are investigating “hundreds” of tips in the hunt for a fugitive ex-cop after offering a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest, the AP reports:

The manhunt for Christopher Dorner, 33, coupled with added security at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, left the ranks of the Los Angeles Police Department stretched thin.

Along with responding to routine calls for service, police have been protecting dozens of families considered possible targets of Dorner, based on his alleged Facebook rant against those he held responsible for ending his career with the LAPD five years ago.
