US rampage: Killer identified as Hollywood filmmaker's son
The shooter was identified as 22-year-old Elliot Rodger.
He is the son of Hollywood filmmaker Peter Rodger.
According to reports, he killed three people, who the police discovered stabbed to death in Rodger’s Isla Vista apartment, and later shot dead three other university students.
"Rodger then shot three university students to death and injured 13 people, including four struck by his black BMW as he careened across town exchanging gunfire with sheriff’s deputies," The Washington Post reported.
He crashed his vehicle into a parked car, and when the deputies pulled him out and handcuffed him, they could clearly see that he was dead from a gunshot wound to the head, likely self-inflicted, the news paper quoted Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown as saying at a news conference.
