His first stop was the Alpha Phi sorority, which he had called “the hottest sorority of UCSB.” Then, at about 9:30 p.m., the citywide shooting and vehicle-ramming rampage began. The first three killed Friday were male stabbing victims in Rodger’s own apartment whose names have not been released, Brown said Saturday. Sheriff Bill Brown, appearing on CNN on Sunday said that investigators are tying up a few ends, but “for the most part, I think, we have a pretty clear picture of what happened “ Of the men he sees as rivals, he said: “I deserve girls much more than all those slobs,” and that after his rampage “you will finally see that I am, in truth, the superior one, the true alpha male.” And yet, you girls never give me a chance. “I don’t know why you girls are so repulsed by me,” he says in the video, describing his loneliness and frustration at never having had sex with or even kissed a girl. “I’ll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you,” Rodger, the son of a Hollywood director who worked on “The Hunger Games,” says in the video posted Friday and taken down by YouTube on Saturday with a message saying it violated the site’s terms of service. The rampage played out largely as he laid it out in the public postings, including a YouTube video where he sits in the BMW in sunset light and appears to be acting out scripted lines and planned laughs.
Rodger then apparently shot and killed himself inside the black BMW he used in the violence, authorities said Saturday. In YouTube videos and a long written manifesto, Elliot Rodger aired his contempt for everyone from his roommates to the whole human race, reserving special hate for two groups: the women he says kept him a virgin for all of his 22 years, and the men they chose instead.Īuthorities said he put that bitterness into action in a stabbing and shooting rampage Friday night across the seaside California college town of Isla Vista that killed two young women and four men, at least half of them students at the University of California, Santa Barbara. A drive-by shooter went on a "mass murder" rampage near the Santa Barbara university campus that left seven people dead, including the attacker, and seven others wounded, authorities said Saturday.
