The names of the three other victims have not yet been released, pending family notification.

Elliot Rodger, 22, posted a YouTube video on Thursday detailing his plans of mass murder while blaming women for not being interested in him. Rodger said he was a virgin who had never been kissed.

On Friday evening, Rodger began his murder spree by stabbing to death three males at his apartment in Isla Vista.

Then, at about 9:30 p.m., Rodger arrived at the Alpha Phi sorority and pounded on the door, no one answered. He then shot three women outside the sorority, killing Weiss and Cooper.

Rodger left the sorority and drove to a deli, he stood outside and shot and killed former San Luis Obispo High School student Christopher Michaels-Martinez.

Rodger left the deli and continued to drive across Isla Vista, shooting at people, running down others with his car and exchanging gunfire with deputies. He was discovered dead in his car with a bullet to his hip and another to his head. It is not yet known if the bullet to his head was self-inflicted.

During his murder spree, 13 people were injured. Of those, eight were shot, four were run down and one person’s injuries are not explained.

Cyber bullying. Haha. Are we really going to arrest people for talking crap on facebook? I think anyone that gives this post a thumbs down is bullying me and should be arrested. You know how to stop cyber bullying….. Turn off the kids f-ing computer and make them go outside and play. Parents don’t raise their kids anymore. That is the freaking problem! Maybe you should spend time with your kids and make sure they don’t turn into crazy self entitled boomerang kids and not let them be raised by an xbox!
