Washington, May 25 (IBNS): A US college student, who had killed six people during a murderous rampage on Friday in the seaside college community of Isla Vista, close to theUniversity of California at Santa Barbara, had taped a video vowing a "day of retribution" against women who had sexually shunned him before committing the crime, media reports said on Sunday.

The shooter was identified as 22-year-old Elliot Rodger.

He is the son of Hollywood filmmaker Peter Rodger.

According to reports, he killed three people, who the police discovered  stabbed  to death in Rodger’s Isla Vista apartment, and later shot dead three other  university students.

"Rodger then shot three university students to death and injured 13 people, including four struck by his black BMW as he careened across town exchanging gunfire with sheriff’s deputies," The Washington Post reported.

He crashed his vehicle into a parked car, and when the deputies pulled him out and handcuffed him, they could clearly see that he was dead from a gunshot wound to the head, likely self-inflicted, the news paper quoted Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown as  saying at a news conference.
