1 - The
rampage began with the stabbing deaths of three people in the apartment that
Rodger rented, inside a two-story courtyard building on Seville Road fronted by
palm trees.
All three
victims were UCSB students, and at least two of them -- 20-year-old Cheng Yuan
Hong and 19-year-old George Chen, both from San Jose, Calif. -- lived in the
apartment. Police weren't sure whether the third victim, Weihan Wang, 20, of
Fremont, Calif., also lived in the apartment or was visiting.
After the
stabbing spree in his home, police say Rodger drove five blocks to the Alpha
Phi sorority house.
2 -
Residents at the Alpha Phi Sorority house heard loud aggressive knocking for
1-2 minutes but no one opened the door. The first 911 call was placed, at 9:27
p.m.
Rodger had
left the door of the sorority house and within 20 paces encountered a group
that included Veronika Weiss and Katherine Cooper. As witnesses inside Alphi
Phi watched, Rodger shot and killed the two UCSB students; a third woman was
shot multiple times but has survived.
3 - Two
blocks and three minutes later, at a deli on Pardall Road, the suspect exited
the vehicle and fatally shot 20-year-old Christopher Martinez. Four foot patrol
officers saw the suspect flee in the black BMW.

4 - At the
top of the area called "the loop," the suspect fired rounds at 2
people on the sidewalk.
5 - He then
turned south on el Embarcadero and east onto Del Playa. He brandished a gun at
a woman there and then headed west on Del Playa. He began firing at a sheriff
who was on foot. The deputy returned fire and the suspect continued west on Del
Playa.
6 - At the
6600 block of Del Playa he hit a bicyclist with his car.
7 - At the
intersection of Camino del Sur and Sabado Tarde, the suspect fired multiple
times at pedestrians, three of whom were hit.
8 - The
suspect continued east on Sabado Tarde and shot another victim.
9 - At 9:33
p.m. he continued east where he came into contact with 4 officers and he began
firing at them. Three of the officers were able to return fire. The suspect was
shot in the hip.
10 - He
turned onto el Embarcadero again, accelerated and struck another bicyclist. The
cyclist flew onto the car and smashed the windshield of the BMW. The car
collided with parked cars and stopped.
The deputies
pulled him out of the car and handcuffed him. Rodger was dead with a gunshot
wound to the head.
