Google, which owns YouTube, said on Twitter at the time (April 3) that it was “coordinating with authorities and will provide official information here from Google and YouTube as it becomes available.”
The San Bruno Police advised people to stay away from Cherry Ave. and Bay Hill Drive near YouTube’s headquarters.
Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital spokesman Brent Andrew told CBS News that the hospital received patients from the incident but could not confirm a number. At least three people were injured during the shooting.
Police have named the suspect as Nasim Aghdam and say they are still investigating a motive. The woman took her own life after the incident.
Several YouTube employees and others in the area during the time of the shooting have tweeted about the incident.
We were sitting in a meeting and then we heard people running because it was rumbling the floor. First thought was earthquake. https://t.co/gmolQmRXm1

Just spoke to a shaken mom outside YouTube campus. Her son, 30 year old software engineer was inside during active shooter situation. He heard shots on his lunch break on outside patio. He is now hiding in a bush.
