This won't help the gub debate, especially in California:
A gunman has killed six people in drive-by shootings near the California city of Santa Barbara, police say. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown says they have evidence that the shooting was premeditated. The shootings took place late on Friday in Isla Vista, near the University of California at Santa Barbara campus.Rico says the guy was an unloved punk, and should've shot himself first, as usual...
The suspected gunman was found dead in his car with a bullet wound. It is unclear whether it was self-inflicted. Police are looking into a possible link with a Youtube video in which a young man complains of repeated rejection by women and threatens to take revenge.
The shootings occurred at several sites in the town of Isla Vista, and there were nine crime scenes, police said. Witnesses described seeing a black BMW speeding through the streets, with shots being fired at people.
Michael Vitek, a student, told local television station KEYT he had seen one woman being fatally struck and another critically injured. "I heard shots, scream, pain," he said.
Police say they were alerted to the shootings around 21:30 on Friday. Six minutes later, the suspect and responding officers exchanged gunfire. The suspect fled. But, after a second exchange of fire with police, he eventually crashed into a parked vehicle. He was found dead in his car with a bullet wound to the head. A semi-automatic handgun was recovered from the vehicle.
Investigators know the suspect's name, but would not release it before all relatives were notified, Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters. "We have obtained and are currently analyzing videotaped evidence that suggests that this atrocity was a premeditated mass murder," Brown said. He said police were familiar with a YouTube video (above) entitled Elliot Rodger's Retribution, in which a man says he is aged twenty-two and vows revenge on women, with whom he says he has never had an intimate experience.
