That's very saddening. ^^^^^
The apartment of Elliot Rodger is now also a crime scene, as authorities recovered three bodies from the Capri apartment complex on Isla Vista this afternoon. As of this report, it is unclear whether these three bodies are part of the original reported death toll of seven (including the shooter) or three new victims.
Earlier this afternoon, Santa Barbara news station KEYT reported receiving a 140-page manifesto from Elliot Rodger titled "My Twisted World: The Story Of Elliot Rodger." KEYT reporter Joe Buttitta tweeted out a picture of the manifesto.
The printed manifesto has yet to be published by the station, although you can make out the first page in that tweeted out picture. In the introductory paragraphs he explains he felt "cast out and rejected" and that society "forced [his] hand" to go on his violent rampage. He places the blame on "the females of the human species [who] were incapable of seeing the value in [him]." KEYT also reported a quote apparently from the manifesto that explains the victims found in his apartment:
On the day before the Day of Retribution, I will start the First Phase of my vengeance: Silently killing as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery.
