Woman dies after Youtube HQ shooting

A WOMAN was dead and at least four people were injured last night after a shooting incident at online video platform Youtube’s headquarters in California.

Gunshots were heard coming from the company’s campus in San Bruno, south of San Francisco. Police later said a woman had been found dead on the premises with self-inflicted gunshot wounds. They believed she was the shooter.

Staff were evacuated while police investigated reports of an “active shooter”. Ambulances took the victims to hospital.

Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital said it was treating patients from the incident. Stanford Health Care said they were caring for four victims. One patient, a man aged 36, is critical.

One Youtube employee said she had been evacuated with her hands up, and saw blood on the stairs. Another said the building was on “lockdown”.
