A gunman went on a drive-by shooting rampage in a Santa Barbara student enclave and at least seven people were killed, including the attacker, authorities said.

Investigators believe a 22-year-old named Elliot Rodger driving a black BMW acted alone in the shootings around 9:30pm Friday night in Isla Vista near the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown confirmed at a news conference early Saturday that that seven people were killed, including the gunman, and seven wounded.

Brown said the suspect exchanged gunfire with deputies and then drove off and crashed into a parked car.

'We have obtained and are currently analyzing both written and videotaped evidence that suggests this atrocity was a premeditated mass murder,' Brown said.

Rodger was the son of Peter Rodger, assistant director of the Hollywood film franchise The Hunger Games.

An attorney for Peter Rodger has confirmed to KCAL that Elliot Rodger was 'involved' in the shooting.

Authorities are examining a video posted on social media by the shooter in which he rants about women who supposedly rejected his advances.

The video is called Elliot Rodger's Retribution.

Rodger, a Santa Barbara City College Student and Isla Vista resident, according to his social media accounts unleashed a tirade about his 'loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled desires,' and blames women for preferring 'obnoxious brutes' to him, 'the supreme gentlemen.'

Comment by Tara on May 26, 2014 at 2:27pm: And what about this statement? "Three more of the victims were named on Sunday night - Cheng Yuan Hong, 20, George Chen, 19, and Weihan Wang, 20, were stabbed in Rodger's apartment." So there was a knife involved too? But the media is focusing solely on the shootings. I don't hear any talks about banning knives, yet!
