"  Six people were killed and seven injured during a drive-by shooting spree last night in Isla Vista, California. The shooter also died; a local sheriff described the crime as &amp;quot;the work of a madman.&amp;quot; Reports of a shooting near the University of California, Santa Barbara&amp;#039;s campus reached police just before 9:30 p.m. PST last night, with calls confirming &amp;quot;dozens of rounds fired.&amp;quot; Deputies both on foot and in police cars attended the scene, finding multiple victims and engaging the shooter in a &amp;quot;brief but violent firefight.&amp;quot; The shooter fled the scene in his car, but then crashed. Police found him with a bullet wound to the head; it has not yet been confirmed whether this was a self-inflicted gunshot wound or the result of the firefight. Though police have yet to confirm the identities of either the victims or the shooter, a police source tells CBS News the latter has been identified as 22-year-old Elliot Rodger. Local newspaper The Santa Barbara Independent earlier matched the license plates of the car involved in the shootings with photos on Rodger&amp;#039;s Facebook page. (As many outlets have reported, he is the son of Hunger Games&amp;#039; second unit director, Peter Rodger.) Chillingly, Rodger uploaded a series of selfies only yesterday afternoon. A series of YouTube videos posted by Rodger are filled with angry, vengeful commentary; the last video, uploaded on Thursday is titled &amp;quot;Elliot Rodger&amp;#039;s Retribution.&amp;quot; The six-minute clip is disturbing, and difficult to watch. Taken from inside his car, the video begins with Rodger acknowledging it&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;his last video,&amp;quot; and that &amp;quot;it all has to come to this.&amp;quot; Specifically, he blames his loneliness and apparently repeated rejection by women for spurring his actions. A partial transcript is below, though you can see it in full here: &amp;quot;Tomorrow is the day of retribution, the day in which I will have my revenge against humanity, against all of you. For the last eight years of my life, ever since I&amp;#039;ve hit puberty, I&amp;#039;ve been forced to endure an existence of loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires, all because girls have never been attracted to me. Girls gave their affection and sex and love to other men, but never to me. I&amp;#039;m 22 years-old [and] I&amp;#039;m still a virgin. I&amp;#039;ve never even kissed a girl. I&amp;#039;ve been through college for two-and-a-half years, more than that actually, and I&amp;#039;m still a virgin. It has been very torturous. College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure, but in those years I&amp;#039;ve had to rot in loneliness. It&amp;#039;s not fair. You girls have never been attracted to me; I don&amp;#039;t know why you girls have never been attracted to me, but I will punish you for it. It&amp;#039;s an injustice, a crime, because I don&amp;#039;t know what you don&amp;#039;t see in me. I&amp;#039;m the perfect guy, yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men instead of me, the supreme gentleman. I will punish all of you for it. &amp;quot;Girls, all I&amp;#039;ve ever wanted was to love you and to be loved by you. I&amp;#039;ve wanted a girlfriend, I&amp;#039;ve wanted sex, I&amp;#039;ve wanted love, affection, adoration. But you think I&amp;#039;m unworthy of it. And that&amp;#039;s a crime that can never be forgiven. If I can&amp;#039;t have you, girls, I will destroy you. You denied me a happy life, and in turn, I will deny all you life. It&amp;#039;s only fair.&amp;quot;  Rodger mentions &amp;quot;the hottest sorority house&amp;quot; as a particular target, and laid out plans to target &amp;quot;every single spoiled, stuck-up blonde slut&amp;quot; he found. He then said he&amp;#039;d &amp;quot;take to the streets of Isla Vista and slay every person I see there. All those popular kids, who live such lives of hedonistic pleasure ... All you popular kids, you&amp;#039;ve never accepted me and now you&amp;#039;ll all pay for it.&amp;quot; A report on Hollywood Life claims that all six victims were members of UCSB sororities \u2014 though they use a TMZ report as their source; TMZ&amp;#039;s story currently makes no claims as to the victims&amp;#039; identities or Greek affiliation. Update #1 5/24 6 p.m. EST: Three bodies were removed from Rodger&amp;#039;s apartment by police this afternoon. They are believed to be his male roommates; all three were stabbed. As part of a 140-page &amp;quot;manifesto&amp;quot; published online on Thursday, Rodger wrote of a plan to &amp;quot;silently kill as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery.&amp;quot;  Update #2 5/25 6 a.m. EST: More details on Rodger&amp;#039;s shooting spree have been revealed. While he first attempted to gain entry into the Alpha Phi sorority house, he was unable. Residents reported hearing &amp;quot;aggressive knocking,&amp;quot; but did not open the door. Instead, Rodger shot at people standing nearby, killing two students now identified as 22-year-old Katie Cooper and 19-year-old Veronika Weiss. (A third female student was also shot, but survived.) Rodger then drove to a Deli Mart, where he fired into the store and at people outside, killing 20-year-old Christopher Martinez. He &amp;quot;sped off&amp;quot; again, but was soon engaged in a firefight with police deputies who&amp;#039;d arrived on the scene. Police now believe Rodger took his own life after crashing his car. This post will be continue to be updated as further information becomes available.  Follow Alex on  Twitter.
