No shots were fired on campus. Being that it was CA, shooter used his BMW and just drove around killing people, never leaving his car.

Shooter posted a youtube video, complaining that he couldn't score with the sorority girls. It was sort of a if I can't have you no one will. His dad was the assistant director of the Hunger Games. Shot the video from inside his BMW too.

We need to require universal background checks on all 3-Series BMW purchases.

SPECIAL REPORT: Seven Dead, Seven Injured in Isla Vista Mass Murder Shooting

This is a special report from The Santa Barbara Independent. See http://www.independent.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for continuing coverage.

By Tyler Hayden
A lone gunman killed six people and injured seven more during a shooting rampage Friday night in Isla Vista that Sheriff Bill Brown called “the work of a madman.” The suspect was killed after firing on responding deputies, but it’s not clear if the fatal wound to his head was self-inflicted or the result of return fire.
The seven injured victims are being treated at Santa Barbara Cottage hospital — some for gunshot wounds, others for trauma sustained when the suspect crashed his car as he was pursued — and one recently underwent surgery for life-threatening injuries.
Initial reports suggested that two suspects were involved in the shooting, but Brown said during a 2:30 a.m. press conference Saturday morning that the gunman acted alone. Brown said the man was armed with a semi-automatic handgun and that investigators are working to determine if other weapons were involved.
The names of the victims and the suspect have not been released. Brown, however, confirmed that written and video material left by 22-year-old Elliot Rodger of Calabasas in the hours and days leading up to the shooting is being reviewed as evidence in the massacre. “It appears to be connected,” he said.
In a YouTube video titled “Elliot Rodger’s Retribution” and posted the day before the shooting, Rodger — a Santa Barbara City College Student and Isla Vista resident, according to his social media accounts — laments his life of “loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires.” He blames women for throwing themselves at “obnoxious brutes” but rejecting him, “the supreme gentlemen.”
In graphic and unsettling detail, he describes how he plans to launch an assault on the streets of Isla Vista the next day and become a God who “exacts my retribution on all those who deserve it.” (The video is posted below. Please be warned: it is extremely disturbing.) Photographs taken by The Santa Barbara Independent of the suspect’s crashed vehicle on Del Playa Drive show a license plate number that matches the one on the car featured on Rodger’s Facebook page.
At the press conference, Sheriff Brown said dispatchers received calls at 9:27 p.m. of multiple shots fired near the UCSB college town’s central loop. Deputies on foot also heard the gunfire, Brown said, and responded to the area. They immediately came across several victims and started performing first aid as they received description reports of the suspect and his car.
Soon after, several more shots were fired, and at 9:33 p.m. the suspect engaged deputies in a brief but violent firefight. Brown explained there were nine separate crime scenes in the incident, which lasted only around 10 minutes but covered much of downtown Isla Vista. Dozens of rounds were fired, he said. No deputies were injured.
Seconds after the first confrontation, another exchange of gunfire took place, Brown said. The suspect fled in his car down Del Playa Drive and crashed into a parked vehicle. A mangled bike was visible at the scene. When deputies approached the vehicle, they discovered the suspect dead with gunshot wound to his head. The handgun was found in the car, Brown said.
Brown commended the deputies “who engaged very resolutely with the suspect” shortly after they were notified of the initial shootings, and said their actions likely prevented further death or injury during what he termed the “mass murder.” He said his heart goes out to the families of the victims, and he encouraged anyone with information on the suspect or the shootings to contact authorities.
When asked by reporters about the repeated violence that has plagued Isla Vista in recent months and years, and what can be done to stop it, Brown said that while the incident was “obviously a heartbreaking situation in a community that is adjacent to a world class university,” the shooting was “obviously the work of a mad man. … It’s unfortunate this kind of things occurs,” he said, but there are very limited ways to prevent it.
In the days and weeks to come, Brown went on, a clearer picture will soon emerge of “how disturbed this individual was.” While Isla Vista is a unique environment with unique law enforcement challenges, Brown said, “this kind of incident could have occurred anywhere.”
Brown explained that the investigation is still in its early stages, and that more information will soon be released. Brown’s office is being assisted in its investigation by the UCSB Police Department, the California Highway Patrol, the Santa Barbara Police Department, investigators from the District Attorney’s Office, officials from California State Parks, and criminalists from the Department of Justice crime lab.
The Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating other witnesses to interview. Anyone who witnessed the events is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 805-681-4171

Family told police about scary video he posted.

Police interviewed him and found him to be polite with no history of violence.

Haven't checked if he passed the eye test.

The shooter, Elliot Rodger leaves a 141 page manifesto. This had to take some to time to write. No doubt this a premeditated shooting that was planned for some days or possibly weeks.

He used a Glock 34 and two Sig P226 that were purchased legally and registered to Rodger. He had seven 10 round mags for the Glock and thirty four 10 round mags for the Sigs.

I guess now we need to regulate "how many mags" you may own. :banghead:

Three men were stabbed to death in his apartment. Two women and one man were killed by his gunfire. It is presumed he shot himself to death, but he may have been wounded by police. Eight other people were wounded by gunfire. Four people were wounded by his 3 series BMW. Three guns 400 rounds of ammunition.

Father of a dead son blamed pro gun supporters and NRA for his son's death. (we presume his son was not stabbed)

Santa Barbara is also the location of the worst mass murder by a woman.

I watched some of the video he posted. He was truly a terrifying young man in how his mind was working. The stone cold hate he had for beautiful women and envy for men he perceived as rivals was extreme. That laugh of his would have been cheesy in a hollywood movie but it was absolutely chilling to hear him. He commented he would like to reduce the people of the world to nothing but skulls. If this young man had ever gotten his hands on or thought of something worse than guns and knives, he would have used it. My heart goes out to the families and friends of all involved.

Elliot Oliver Robertson Rodger was a deranged psychopath. All of his "issues" were someone else's fault. He was an entitled moron blaming others for things that were not handed to him on a platter. In this absurd case, Societies daughters. And now other uneducted morons are surfacing to blame it all on guns. Not the knife wielding gun shooting wreckless driving psychopathic killer, just the guns and the NRA.

Maybe we need more guns. Maybe every Law Abiding Citizen 18 and older should be wearing a sidearm to instantly confront the violent psychopathic criminals this Society has created with dysfunctional families in a dysfunctional system. The goal of the Bloomberg Cartel is the opposite. These folks wish to create more victims by disarming Law Abiding Citizens so they cannot defend themselves. They wish to Legislate away the very Right to Exist. One needs victims to have a cause, and if one has lots of victims these causes can become very lucrative.

Disturbing new details have been released in the premeditated mass murder Friday night in Isla Vista that claimed the lives of seven people, including the suspect’s. During a crowded press conference Saturday afternoon outside his headquarters, Sheriff Bill Brown explained that information previously released by authorities has been clarified and corrected as the investigation unfolds.

I noticed in another story that he had "filled the void in his life" with violent video games from a young age. I'm not surprised. While normal people seem to be able to enjoy these kinds of entertainment, those with thought disorders may see in them an encouragement to imagine doing the violence they see. He used three deadly weapons; knives, guns, and his car. Yet the media will focus only on the guns which he legally obtained with a background check.

It is big mistake when his parents called the police to check on him not to check for any of his registered forearms. A sloppy work on their behalf, he should have been held on mental evaluation.
All that gun control of Kalifornia are worth nothing.

CNN is full of a news video interview of a victim's father blaming guns and politicians for his sons death, pretty powerful video. My anti gun facebook friends are all over this.
