Elliot Rodger, the son of a Hollywood director, stabbed three people to death in his apartment before gunning down three more victims on Friday night in the town of Isla Vista near the campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB). Rodger, who posted a threatening video railing against women online shortly before his rampage, stalked Isla Vista in his car and on foot, firing on bystanders in a killing spree that ended when he killed himself after a shootout with sheriff's deputies, police said. &quot;I had the striking and devastating fear that someone had somehow discovered what I was planning to do, and reported me for it,&quot; Rodger said in a manifesto obtained by California's KEYT-TV, excerpts of which were published by the Los Angeles Times.</p><br clear="all"/>
