JUST IN: Gunman In California Killings Had Police Encounters Before The Rampage

Brown said when he was through, four men and two women were dead at ten different crime scenes. The sheriff said Rodger was found dead in his crashed car with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head following two shootouts with deputies.

Begnau reported that the police had at least three encounters with Rodger over the past few years…the most recent one just weeks ago after his parents became alarmed about videos he posted on his YouTube channel.

“He was able to make a very convincing story, that there was no problem, that he wasn’t going to hurt himself or anyone else,” Sheriff Brown said, “And it just didn’t meet the criteria for any further intervention”

Brown said the department is deflecting criticism that deputies could have done more at the time.

“We certainly, you know, wish that we could turn the clock back and maybe change some things.” Brown said. [link to 5newsonline.com]
