On May 23, 2014, near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Elliot Rodger, a 22 year-old, self-professed ‘virgin’,  went on a killing spree that would take the lives of 6 students while wounding 13 more before eventually taking his own life.. Terrific documentary by UK’s Channel4 that uses the killer’s own video-recorded words to illustrate how the narcissistic motives of this psychologically troubled young man led to the horrific events of that fateful day ..

“Sheriff’s deputies who showed up at Elliot Rodger’s doorstep last month to check on his mental health hadn’t seen online videos in which he threatens suicide and violence even though those recordings were what prompted his parents to call authorities.

The officers also failed to check his apartment – something Rodger later revealed came as a huge relief because they might have found the cache of weapons he went on to use in the massacre…” dailymail
