Thousands Gather for Shooting Vigil at U.C. Santa Barbara 
----------------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of people have gathered at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, in a day of mourning for the victims of Friday's shooting and
stabbing rampage. Elliot Rodger killed six people and then himself after
posting a video online saying he was seeking revenge against all women
for rejecting his sexual advances. UC Santa Barbara students joined
together to remember their classmates.

Rebekkah Scharf: "I know it hit home for some students here, and I felt
like we needed a space to recognize that."

Jimmy Tran: "When one part of the body hurts like we all hurt, and like
if UC Santa Barbara is going through this tragedy, like we're going
through it, too."
