More bodies found at Santa Barbara shooter's apartment building.

Santa Barbara County Coroner's team has established a crime scene at the apartment complex where suspected shooter Elliot Rodger claimed he lived, prior to Friday's mass murders in Isla Vista.

NewsChannel 3 witnessed forensics experts removing three bodies from the Capri apartment complex on the 6500 block of Seville Road Saturday afternoon.

There is no confirmation from authorities whether this latest discovery increases the number of people killed, which stands at seven, including the gunman.

The timing is significant based on a more than one hundred page manifesto Rodger allegedly published hours before the killings.

"On the day before the Day of Retribution, I will start the First Phase of my vengeance: Silently killing as many people as I can around Isla Vista by luring them into my apartment through some form of trickery."

Sheriff Bill Brown will give an update on the investigation during a 4:00 p.m. news conference from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Headquarters.

to this story on the news all afternoon. I posted on another thread on this story that he could have used a little counseling. I would like to amend that now. This brat needed a brain transplant.

It is believed he killed them before beginning his shooting spree. This guy was absolutely sick in the head!

people who initially obtained them legally and then sometime after that started showing signs of mental illness. If they are mentally ill when they apply to buy a gun they can be denied but if they become mentally ill after the fact then that's a different story.
