Richard Martinez, who tearfully lashed out at "craven, irresponsible politicians" and the National Rifle Association the day after his son Christopher was gunned down in the Isla Vista massacre, now wants to meet with the father of the shooter.
"I lost my son. He lost his son. We have that in common," Martinez tells the Los Angeles Times. "We want, if possible, that the deaths of our son and his son should mean something."
Elliot Rodger, 22, the son of Hollywood movie director Peter Rodger, was suspected of stabbing three men to death in his apartment before going on a shooting spree through the neighborhood near the University of California, Santa Barbara, on Friday night, killing three more, including Christopher Martinez, at a deli. All six victims were UCBS students.
Rodger's family released a statement, saying: "The Rodger family offers their deepest compassion and sympathy to the families involved in this terrible tragedy. We are experiencing the most inconceivable pain, and our hearts go out to everybody involved."
