Suspect dead, at least 4 hurt in shooting at YouTube HQ

SAN BRUNO, Calif. – A female suspect is dead after opening fire at YouTube’s headquarters in Northern California on Tuesday in a shooting that left at least four people injured, authorities said.

Police swarmed the three-story building around 1 p.m. after reports of an active gunman. The female gunman — rare in active shooter situations — was found dead of an apparent suicide, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said at a news conference.

Barberini said the injured were found in the building and at an adjacent business. Police cautioned people to stay away from the building, which is on Cherry Avenue, about 11 miles south of San Francisco. Barberini said “we don’t know the circumstances” of why the woman opened fire, adding the investigation is just beginning.

It’s still unclear how the person was able to make it inside the building and whether there was any security.

Several hospitals said they received patients, including San Francisco General Hospital.

Spokesman Brent Andrew said they received three patients — a woman and two men. One person was in critical condition. Dr. Andre Campbell said all three were hit with bullets.

San Bruno police said a fourth person was injured but was not shot. It’s unclear how this person was hurt.

“You think after we saw Las Vegas and Parkland and the Pulse nightclub shooting that we would see an end to this, but we have not,” Campbell said of the gun violence. “We’ve got a serious problem that we need to address.”
