The gunman&#8217;s lifeless body is in that count. A lawyer for a Hollywood director claims that he thinks the perp was that director&#8217;s son, although police haven&#8217;t named him yet. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Police say a gunman driving a BMW near the university campus carried out the rampage. Authorities described the tragedy as &#8220;obviously the work of a mad man.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>The gunman got into two gun battles before crashing into a parked car. Deputies found the lone suspect dead, but it wasn&#8217;t immediately clear whether he was killed by gunfire or if he committed suicide, Brown said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Especially important is this;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[Lawyer Alan Shifman, attorney for director Peter Rodger] says the director&#8217;s family called police several weeks ago after being alarmed by YouTube videos &#8220;regarding suicide and the killing of people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer said police conducted an investigation and interviewed the young man. Shifman said police did not find a history of guns, but did say the man had trouble making friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a premeditated mass murder, \u201c Brown said. He called the killer &#8220;severely mentally disturbed.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, there you go. It couldn&#8217;t have been Elliot Rodger, as the lawyer claimed, he&#8217;d already been investigated by the police and they found him to be harmless. What the Hell does &#8220;a history of guns&#8221; mean?<\/p>\n<p>I wonder how long it will take them to announce that he&#8217;d talked with a military recruiter in recent days, or maybe he bought one of the most deadly guns a person can own from a gun show. The YouTube videos are plastered around the internet, but I&#8217;m not posting them. you&#8217;ll have to find them yourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Good thing they passed those new gun laws in California last year. feel safer?<\/p>\n<p><strong>ADDED:<\/strong> Perhaps more shocking than a shooting in California, three are dead and 1 wounded in Brussels Belgium at a holocaust museum, according to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/europe\/at-least-3-killed-at-brussels-jewish-museum\/2014\/05\/24\/d6a348c0-e359-11e3-9442-54189bf1a809_story.html\">Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The three dead were two women and a man, and they were hit by bullets in the throat and face, said Ine Van Wymersch, spokeswoman for the prosecutor\u2019s office.
