Seven other were also reported injured in the tragic
shooting spree which is dubbed as "premeditated mass murder" by
police after an initial analysis of written and videotaped evidence. The County
Sheriff Bill Brown also called the shooter as "severely mentally
disturbed."
"We have obtained and are currently analyzing
videotaped evidence that suggests that this atrocity was a premeditated mass
murder," Sheriff Brown told reporters.
The gunman got into two gun battles with deputies in the
beachside community of Isla Vista before crashing his black BMW into a parked
car, Brown told further. The suspect was found dead with a gun shot in
his head but it wasn't immediately clear whether he was killed by gunfire or if
he committed suicide, he said.
