Holy Angels Pastor Has Connection to Dorner Manhunt

The school will remain closed until at least Wednesday, officials say.

Holy Angels School is closed because the church's pastor is related to a person named in the rambling manifesto of an ex-LAPD officer accused of going on a revenge killing spree.

Father Michael Evans told his congregation that he plans to stay away from the school and Holy Angels parish until the manhunt for Christopher Jordan Dorner ends.

The search now spans Southern California.

"As a safety measure for our community I have asked to have an increased police presence for our campus," Evans said in an e-mail to his congregation obtained by the Pasadena Star-News.

The school will likely remain closed until at least Wednesday, the newspaper reported, and associate pastor Rev. Blaise Brockman will take over for Evans for the time being.

Best thing for the Pastor to do to keep everyone safe. Fantastic that he is thinking of everyone around him especially the children.

God Bless you Fr. Michael! You and your family stay safe.

I can't imagine Mr. Dorner is still in the area, since everyone in this country seems to be looking for him. Rumor hs it that he's Mexico by now.

Hi Susan, The graphic shows that in only one year from 2002-2011 were more Hispanics arrested thanRead More Blacks (2011) - if you hover your mouse over each point you can see the raw number of arrests for each group each year. That's despite there being a substantially larger Hispanic population in L.A. County. The data comes from the Dept. of Justice and was reported by the ACLU - and I believe the point of the report is that there is racial profiling going on, not to suggest that black people are using more pot. In fact, the study suggests that there is not significantly more prevalent pot use among any one racial group. The figure 2.6 times as likely refers to blacks vs. whites, as in mentioned in the first sentence of the article, and comes from the ACLU study. Our intention was definitely not sensationalism but rather to direct readers to this national ACLU study that included L.A. County data. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
