The man suspected of fatally shooting six people in a rampage near the University of California, Santa Barbara, before also dying of a gunshot wound was identified as Elliot Rodger, the son of an assistant director on The Hunger Games, according to a family attorney.

Rodger's family was "devastated," lawyer Alan Schifman tells ABC News. "They want to send the deepest condolences to all the victims' families involved at this time."

Rodger's parents had become concerned about him in recent weeks and had reported his disturbing YouTube videos to police, says Schifman, who represents Rodger's father, Peter Rodger, a second unit director on the 2012 blockbuster. Peter Rodger also wrote and directed Oh My God, a 2009 documentary in which celebrities including Hugh Jackman and Seal ponder the question, "What is God?"

Officers interviewed Elliot Rodger and found him to be "polite and kind," Schifman tells ABC. It wasn't clear which agency sent officers; Schifman says a social worker also contacted police about Rodger last week.

Although Rodger was identified as the shooter by the attorney, Santa Barbara officials had still not released the name of the suspect.

Rodger's final video was posted to YouTube hours before the shooting, promising "retribution" against women, whom he blamed for his "loneliness, rejection and unfulfilled desires." In the six-minute clip, he sits in his car and complains women had left him a frustrated 22-year-old virgin.

"Girls gave their affection and sex and love to other men, but never to me," Rodger states.

"It's an injustice … I'm the perfect guy, and yet you throw yourselves at all these obnoxious men instead of me, the supreme gentleman."
