On the evening of May 23, 2014, multiple misogynistic terrorist attacks occurred in Isla Vista, California, United States. 22-year-old Elliot Rodger murdered six people and injured 14 others by gunshot, stabbing, and vehicle ramming near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), before fatally shooting himself. In Rodger's apartment, he ambushed and stabbed to death his two roommates and their friend, killing them separately as they arrived. About two hours later, he drove to a sorority house and, after failing to gain entry, he shot three women walking near the sorority house, two of whom died. He then drove past a nearby delicatessen, and shot and killed a man who was inside. Following this, he drove around Isla Vista, shooting from his car and wounding several pedestrians, both with gunfire and his car. He exchanged gunfire with police twice and was injured in the hip. After Rodger's car crashed into a parked vehicle, he was found dead inside with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Before driving to the sorority house, Rodger uploaded a video entitled "Elliot Rodger's Retribution", in which he outlined his attack plan and motives, to YouTube.
