3 male victims were stabbed to death at Rodger's apartment prior to him driving around the city shooting people seemingly at random.
A total of 6 people were murdered and 13 injured during Rodger's rampage. 7 victims remain hospitalized..
Rodger left behind a rambling 140 page manifesto (read here) and a YouTube video promising to kill as many people as possible because he had grown to hate the world because he was a virgin and wasn't desired by women. There are several more videos on his YouTube channel where he rants about the same topics repeatedly.
Police recovered three legally purchased semiautomatic guns - two Sig Sauers, a Glock, and more than 400 rounds of ammunition from Rodger's car.
Shooting victim Christopher Michael-Martinez.
Christopher Michael-Martinez was murdered by Rodger when he entered the I.V. Deli. CNN obtained surveillance footage of people running, ducking for cover as bullets were being fired into the deli. One woman hits the ground, but doesn't seek shelter. She eventually sits up, grabs her phone and dials 911.
