YouTube HQ: Police confirm there’s an active shooter at company campus

UK Independent

There is an active shooter at YouTube headquarters at the California-based company located around 11 miles south of San Francisco, according to police.

The San Mateo County Sheriff and local San Bruno Police are working together to resolve the situation. Product manager Vadim Lavrusik tweeted that he “heard shots and saw people running while at my desk” but he and some colleagues have been evacuated and are safe at this time.

The police have advised the public to stay out of the area of the offices. Footage posted via Snapchat close to the campus in San Mateo shows some people walking down the street with their hands above their heads and police surrounding the building while wearing tactical gear.

The San Bruno City Manager’s office told BuzzFeed News that the city received several emergency calls from inside the building and the surrounding area regarding gunshots. Police are currently searching individuals who have been evacuated before allowing them to leave the scene to prevent the shooter from blending in with escaping crowds.

Police have released very little information, however, unconfirmed reports from local media said that the shooter is female, and two people are injured.

People in surrounding offices have shared some images of the scene on various social media platforms.

We are seeing @YouTube employees being brought out with hands up!

 The video streaming company is owned by Google, whose main headquarters are also located in the northern California area. The company tweeted that it has been “coordinating with authorities and will provide official information here from Google and YouTube as it becomes available”.

Todd Sherman, another YouTube staffer, tweeted that he “saw blood drips on the floor and stairs” as he was evacuating. He later tweeted that he is safe and on his way home from the scene.

At that point every new person I saw was a potential shooter. Someone else said that the person shot out the back doors and then shot themselves.

I looked down and saw blood drips on the floor and stairs. Peaked around for threats and then we headed downstairs and out the front.

 The San Francisco General Hospital has taken in an unknown number of patients from the shooting incident, according to local news station KCBS. Stanford Hospital Media Relations Spokesperson Lisa Kim has confirmed that four to five patients have been transferred to that hospital but did not comment on the nature or severity of their injuries. The San Bruno Police scanner said at least 37 people have been taken to hospital thus far.

  1. Let’s wait for the Hollyweird scripted narrative of single female dies of self -inflicted gun shot wound. Due to YouTube removing her “conservative, gun-loving, conspiracy theories channel ” Surprise! Surprise!! Surprise!!!

  2. Not exactly on topic, but wanted to pass this along. – Mike
