A gunman has killed six people in drive-by shootings near the Californian city of Santa Barbara, US police say. The shootings took place late on Friday in Isla Vista near the University of California-Santa Barbara campus. The suspected gunman was found dead in his car with a bullet wound to the head. It is unclear whether it was self-inflicted. Police are looking into a possible link with a Youtube video (click on link below to view video) in which a young man complains of repeated rejection by women and threatens to take revenge.
The shootings occurred at several sites in the town of Isla Vista.

But after a second exchange of fire with police, he eventually crashed into a parked vehicle. He was found dead in his car with a bullet wound to the head. A semi-automatic handgun was recovered from the vehicle. Investigators know the suspect's name but would not release it before all relatives were notified, Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told reporters.
