More details on the California shooting suspect - He feared his plan would be discovered weeks before his rampage
foxnews.com
The 22-year-old man suspected of fatally stabbing three of his housemates before carrying out a mass shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara late Friday feared that police would discover his murderous plan when they visited him last month.
Elliot Rodger, the son of Hollywood director Peter Rodger -- an assistant director on "The Hunger Games" films series -- was identified by police as the suspect in a press conference Saturday evening. The gunman killed three people in the shooting spree in the beachside community of Isla Vista and injured 13 others before he was found dead in his car of a gunshot wound to the head.
The rampage occurred hours after authorities said Rodger warned in a YouTube video that he would kill all who had wronged him.
Police went to Rodger's apartment April 30 to conduct a wellness check after being contacted by members of Rodger's family who were concerned about disturbing videos he had posted on YouTube. Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said that deputies had reported back that Rodger was shy, polite and said the Santa Barbara community college student had been having a difficult social life.
In a 140-page manifesto that police discovered in Rodger's apartment Saturday, the suspect writes that he told the police that the videos were a misunderstanding, but adds "If they had demanded to search my room ... That would have ended everything. For a few horrible seconds I thought it was all over."
Rodger claimed in his manifesto that he had begun considering his rampage on New Year's Day of this year. The shooting was supposed to be carried out in April, but Rodger had pushed it back due to illness.
An attorney for Rodger's family said earlier Saturday that they believed Rodger had been the shooter and acknowledged that they had called police weeks before about disturbing YouTube videos concerning "regarding suicide and the killing of people."
Deputies wounded him during two separate shootouts as he sped through Isla Vista, leaving a trail of bloodshed that ended with Rodger apparently shooting himself in the head before crashing his black BMW crashing into a parked car, Brown said.
