SEAN MCMINN | MUSTANG NEWS MOURNING | Isla Vista community members gathered Monday outside the I.V. Deli Mart, where one UCSB student was killed in a shooting spree Friday night. Cal Poly said it’s ready to support the university and its students.

TRAGEDY ROCKS UC SANTA BARBARA Brooke Sperbeck, Benjy Egel & Aja Frost @CPMustangNews Graphic communication junior Sam Burt went to Isla Vista on Memorial Day Weekend to visit his friend at Santa Barbara City College. Burt stayed in a friend’s apartment on the corner of Del Playa Drive and El Embarcadero Road — the same area a gunman took to on Friday night, killing six people and injuring 13 more.

When the shooting began down the street from the apartment, Burt and his friend heard “popping noises,” which they initially thought were fireworks, he said. “I ran outside on his balcony, and the popping was getting louder, but on a really consistent pace and a weird pace,” Burt said. “So I said, ‘That’s not normal.’” Just one of the several college students near the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), Burt was witnessing what would soon become international news. Elliot Rodger, a 22-year-old Santa Barbara City College

student, rampaged across the streets in Isla Vista, firing at multiple people from his BMW before eventually crashing his car and fatally shooting himself, according to Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown. The gunman posted a 141-page manifesto online before the shooting, in which he swore to bring revenge on the women of Santa Barbara who had turned down his advances. >>
