About Elliot Rodger

  • On the evening of May 23, 2014, in Isla Vista, California, 22-year-old Elliot Rodger killed six people and injured fourteen others near the campus of University of California, Santa Barbara, before killing himself inside his vehicle. The attack began when Rodger stabbed three men to death in his apartment, apparently one by one on their arrival.
  • Approximately three hours later, he drove to a sorority house, but failed to gain access.
  • He then shot three women outside; two of them died.
  • He next drove past a nearby deli and shot to death a male student who was inside.
  • He then began to speed through Isla Vista, shooting and wounding several pedestrians and striking several others with his car.
  • Rodger exchanged gunfire with police twice during the attack, receiving a non-fatal gunshot to the hip.
  • The rampage ended when his car crashed into a parked vehicle and came to a stop.
  • Police found him dead in the car with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head. Just before driving to the sorority house, Rodger uploaded to YouTube a video titled "Elliot Rodger's Retribution", in which he outlined details of his upcoming attack and his motives.
  • He explained that he wanted to punish women for rejecting him, and punish sexually active men because he envied them.
  • After uploading the video, Rodger e-mailed a lengthy autobiographical manuscript to some of his acquaintances, his therapist and several family members.
  • The document, titled "My Twisted World: The Story of Elliot Rodger", was made available on the Internet and became widely known as his manifesto.
  • In it, he described his childhood, family conflicts, frustration over not being able to find a girlfriend, his hatred of women, his contempt for couples (especially interracial couples), and his plans for what he described as "retribution".
