SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (WLS) -- Mass shooting suspect Elliot Rodger spoke about killing for revenge in a YouTube video, according to his family.

22-year-old Rodger is suspected in the killing of six people and shooting injury of seven others near the University of California, Santa Barbara campus.

A lawyer for the family says Rodger talked about a plan to kill people in revenge for being "mistreated" and "overlooked" by women.
