"  As more details from the UCSB shooting emerge, information about his victims has also begun to trickle out. Three of these victims were men who were found dead in Rodger&amp;#039;s apartment, all repeatedly stabbed by Rodger before he went on the shooting spree that ended the lives of three more people. The three men found stabbed in Rodger&amp;#039;s apartment include his two roommates, 19-year-old George Chen and 20-year-old Cheng Yuan Hong. Not much is known about these men aside from the fact that Rodger once reported that Hong once stole candles from him. The third man, 20-year-old Weihan Wang may have just been visiting. In his manifesto, Rodgers detailed that he would begin his day of retribution by luring as many people as he could into his apartment and then torturing them. Then, Rodger stated that he would hit &amp;quot;the hottest&amp;quot; sorority house on the UCSB campus and exact revenge on the women he felt had spurned him. He wrote this about his roommates:  &amp;quot;I knew that when the Day of Retribution came, I would have to kill my housemates to get them out of the way. If they were pleasant to live with, I would regret having to kill them, but due to their behavior I now had no regrets about such a prospect.&amp;quot;    According to reports published by The Washington Post, after killing the men, Rodger drove to the Alpha Phi Sorority house where he proceeded to knock loudly for several minutes. When he got no response he crossed the street and began shooting at three women who were passing. Two of them, 22-year-old Katie Cooper and 19-year-old Veronika Weiss, were fatally injured. After these murders, Rodger began driving through Isla Vista, opening fire on passersby and fatally shooting 20-year-old Christopher Martinez. At this time, Rodger began a standoff with sheriff&amp;#039;s deputies. By the time authorities reached Rodger&amp;#039;s car, he had been fatally shot in the head. Authorities believe this wound was self-inflicted, partially because of this excerpt from Rodger&amp;#039;s disturbing manifesto: &amp;quot;To end my life, I will quickly swallow all of the Xanax and Vicodin pills I have left, along with an ample amount of hard liquor. Immediately after imbibing this mixture, I will shoot myself in the head with two of my handguns simultaneously. If the gunshots don&amp;#039;t kill me, the deadly drug mixture eventually will. I will not suffer being captured and sent to prison.&amp;quot; No evidence has been released as to whether or not Rodger fully executed this part of his plan. UPDATE, 5/27, 9:45 a.m.: Two of the victims&amp;#039; families have issued statements. The parents of Weihan Wang, who was stabbed in Rodger&amp;#039;s apartment along with two other men, told NBC Bay Area that their son had been planning to move out of Rodger&amp;#039;s apartment before next semester. The video of their interview is devastating to watch. Richard Martinez, the father of Christopher Martinez who was shot outside a convenience store on Friday, begged for greater gun control in his statement. &amp;quot;They talk about gun rights,&amp;quot; he said through tears. &amp;quot;What about Chris&amp;#039;s right to live? When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, &amp;#039;Stop this madness; we don&amp;#039;t have to live like this?&amp;#039; Too many have died. We should say to ourselves: not one more.&amp;quot; See his powerful statement here:      RELATED: The 5 Most Terrifying Excerpts From the UCSB Shooter&amp;#039;s Manifesto Six Killed in Mass Shooting, Shooter Promised to &amp;quot;Punish Girls&amp;quot; Who Weren&amp;#039;t Attracted to Him Twitter Responds to UCSB Shooting With #YesAllWomen Follow Mark on Twitter.
