Breaking Celebrity News has all the latest details in the chilling case of University of California, Santa Barbara student Elliot Rodger, the 22-year-old murderer who said he was driven to kill because of his lack of luck with women, eventually slaying seven people, including himself, and injuring 13 others in a deadly rampage in Isla Vista, Calif. Friday evening.
As we previously reported, Rodger — the son of Hunger Games second unit director Peter Rodger — cited his lack of luck with women in multiple videos and a detailed manifesto, uncovering his warped thoughts and bloodthirsty intentions.

The father of a now-20-year-old woman (we are not identifying her) who was extensively discussed in the Rodger’s writings, and cited as the inspiration for his killing spree, says she’s “devastated” by the incident and terrified by any potential blowback from possible copycats. As we previously reported, Rodger said he had a crush on the girl, who was a student at the Woodland Hills, Calif., middle school he attended. He wrote that he “started to hate all girls because of” the teasing he suffered at the hands of “a group of popular seventh grade girls,” one of them being the girl. The father told the NY Daily News that the bullying Roger accused her of sounds off the mark, knowing his daughter. “She’s always been the most delicate kid you’d ever want to meet. For him to call her a bully, this kid was really disillusioned. She was 10 years old. He was two years older than her. He was in my son’s class. She was in the seventh grade and he was in eighth grade. Can you imagine a 10-year-old kid bullying a 12-year-old? This little, petite girl bullying him?” The man said his daughter, now a model, is “devastated by this”
