Baku-APA. US police have identified the gunman who killed six people when he opened fire in a California college town as 22-year-old student Elliott Rodger, APA reports quoting Sky News.
Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown said authorities previously had "three contacts" with Rodger, including one in which he accused a flatmate of stealing candles.
Rodger stabbed three men to death at his apartment before going on a drive-by shooting in Santa Barbara, killing another three people.
Brown said authorities recovered three semi-automatic handguns after Friday's shooting. All of the weapons were legally purchased from federally licensed firearms dealers and were registered to Rodger, 22.
