May 23rd was the memorable day when Elliot Rodger the son of Hollywood movie director, Peter Rodger went
on a crazed shooting spree for being rejected by girls and being a virgin at
age 22.
All six of
his victims have been named. They are (top row, from left to right) Katie
Cooper, Chris Michael-Martinez, Veronica Weiss, (bottom row, from left to
right) Weihan Wang, George Chen, and Cheng Yuan Hong, who shared same apartment
with the killer. All were students at UCSB.
A friend of
Rodger's two roommates, Wang and Yuan Hong, revealed that they had been
planning to move out of the apartment at the end of the semester because they
found felt uncomfortable living with Elliot and fund him 'so strange.'
All three
were found with multiple stab wounds in Elliot's apartment in Isla Vista. After
killing them, he took 3 handguns and went on a shooting spree, killing three
more students before killing himself
Meanwhile
his parents yesterday said they had read his chilling manifesto he sent out
hours before he embarked on the shooting spree and had been frantically trying
to stop him when they heard of the massacre on the radio.
Elliot had
emailed a 140-page document to a few people including his parents and his therapist.
His mum said she received the email
around 9.17pm and immediately went on to his YouTube page where she found the
newly uploaded video titled 'Retribution' which described his plan of
'slaughtering' women at a sorority house at the University of California at
Santa Barbara.
According to
CNN, Mrs Rodger then alerted her estranged husband, Peter, and after he watched
the video she called 911. The former couple then set off from LA to Santa
Barbara to try finding their son but they were too late, as they heard about
the shooting en route.
Later that
night, their worst fears were confirmed when they were told their son was
behind the massacre that left six victims dead and 13 injured.
