Video: Elliot Rodger's 'retribution' video before allegedly shooting dead 6 people─── 16:52 Sat, 24 May 2014
Santa Barbara - A young Californian gunman has embarked on a murderous rampage from his black BMW, killing six people and wounding seven more in a series of drive-by shootings near a college campus in Santana Barbara on a busy Friday evening.
Elliot Rodger is suspected of shooting dead six people before turning the gun on himself, in a rage against being rejected by women.
The attacks were described as a “slow rolling drive-by shooting” that brought terror to the terrors of the student enclave as the gunman slowed the car down and spoke to passers-by before picking off targets. Some students were celebrating end-of-year graduation ceremonies a few hours earlier.
He then sped off after a “Wild West-style” shoot-out with sheriff’s deputies.
Police said they had identified nine crime scenes in the area. The killer was found dead from a gunshot to his head inside his crashed BMW. A handgun was found next to him, but authorities said it was unclear whether he was shot by sheriff’s deputies or died from a self-inflicted wound.
Reports quickly began circulating on social media that the gunman was Elliot Rodger who had posted a ranting video to YouTube a few hours earlier titled "Elliot Rodger's Retribution”.
Asked about the recording, the sheriff called it "evidence that we believe is connected to this crime”.
