A series of murders by a disturbed young man that left him and six othersdead in a California college town has put America's gun culture andmental-healthcare system under renewed scrutiny.

Police named Elliot Rodger, 22, the British-born son of a film director,as the suspect behind Friday's killings in and around the Isla Vistacampus of the University of California at Santa Barbara, which left atrail of 10 separate crime scenes and 13 people injured.

On Sunday, Santa Barbara's county sheriff, Bill Brown, blamed failures inmental-health treatment for the fact that Rodger's behaviour had worriedpeople around him and precipitated three contacts with police, mostrecently last month, but had not caused an intervention that might haveaverted the slaughter.

"I think the fact of the matter is, there's a general lack of resources incommunity mental-health treatment generally," he told CNN on Sunday."There's also probably a lack of notification by healthcare professionalsin instances when people are expressing suicidal or in certain caseshomicidal thoughts or tendencies."

The father of one of the dead put the focus on gun laws, challenging asystem which let Rodger, an angry, alienated child of privilege anddivorce, legally buy two Sig Sauer P226s and a Glock 34 Long Slide fromfederally approved stores and register them in his name.

In what appeared to be a planned spree - Rodger uploaded YouTube videos inwhich he denounced women for spurning him and vowed to take "greatpleasure in slaughtering all of you" - he allegedly started by stabbingthree men repeatedly in an apartment some time before 9.30pm on Friday. Itwas "a horrific crime scene", Brown said.

According to the sheriff's office, the agency had contact with Rodgerthree times before the rampage. Last July deputies investigated injurieshe allegedly sustained in an assault at a college party; in January heaccused a roommate of stealing $22 worth of candles; on 30 April policevisited his apartment in response to a request made by a worried relativethought to be his mother.

The sheriff's deputies who visited Rodger had not seen online videos inwhich he threatened suicide and violence, even though those recordingswere what prompted his parents to call authorities, the Associated Pressreported.

The sheriff's office said on Sunday they were "not aware of any videosuntil after the shooting rampage occurred", Santa Barbara County sheriff'soffice spokeswoman Kelly Hoover said.

It's not clear why the sheriffs did not become aware of the videos.Attorney Alan Shifman said the Rodger family had called police after beingalarmed by YouTube videos "regarding suicide and the killing of people"that their son had been posting.

When the police visited Rodger, whom Brown said deputies found "rathershy, timid and polite, well-spoken", he played down any mental problems,telling police he was having difficulties with his social life and wasplanning to drop out of Santa Barbara City College. The deputies gaveadvice and information on where to seek help and left.

In fact Rodger seems to have been already planning homicide, detailing hisreasons in a 141-page "manifesto", in which he wrote of his relief thatthe deputies had not searched his apartment and found his weapons andplans, and the series of YouTube videos in which he spoke of his feelingsof superiority, alienation and humiliation.
