SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Two people were shot and a third was assaulted Monday night in an attack near the University of California, Santa Barbara in the same neighborhood where a man staged a killing rampage last year.
Three men in their early 20s were taken to a hospital with moderate injuries after county sheriff’s deputies and campus police answered a domestic disturbance call outside a home in Isla Vista, according to fire and sheriff’s officials.
“One of the injured is believed to be a suspect,” a Sheriff’s Office statement said. A university statement circulated among students said it was not clear whether the men were students. Another man fled in a white sedan, prompting a lockdown and search of the campus that ended after about two hours.
The confrontation shortly before 7:15 a.m. occurred in the 6500-block of Sabado Tarde, a street of small apartments a block or two from campus. The Isla Vista area is home to thousands of UCSB students.
On May 23, 2014, Isla Vista was also was the site of a deadly stabbing- and shooting spree. Elliot Rodger, 22, killed six UCSB students and wounded 14 other people before killing himself. Rodger, who wasn’t a student or alumnus, had posted a manifesto and a series of online videos voicing contempt for everyone from his roommates to the human race but reserving special hate for two groups: the women he says kept him a virgin and the men they chose instead.
In one video, he said: “I’ll take great pleasure in slaughtering all of you.”
“… the University of California, Santa Barbara in the same neighborhood where a man staged a killing rampage last year.”
STAGED a killing rampage?
Interesting choice of words.
AGAIN…I point out: look how many “campus” (staged) shootings there are. Keep postin’ ’em so we can see this is all fake. No one ever gets killed, no one ever gets put in jail, or the “shooter” conveniently “dies”. So the stories go.
Apparently we’re having weekly campus shootings and no one’s doing anything about it? Really?
