Reports: Active Shooter at YouTube Headquarters in San Bruno, California
Police are responding to an active shooting situation at YouTube’s headquarters in San Bruno, California.
Police are on scene at the building, where employees of the Alphabet-owned video streaming site have reported shots fired.
This is a developing story. All times Pacific.
Update — 2:14 PM: Different hospitals expecting multiple patients.
Stanford Hospital spox just told me they’re expecting 4-5 patients from the YouTube HQ shooting. The patients aren’t at the hospital yet, and right now the hospital doesn’t know their respective conditions.

And San Francisco General’s spox tells me “several” victims have already arrived at their hospital.
“We’re still expecting more,” he said.
So far they have not had any fatalities at SF General.

Another eyewitness told KTVU that a second victim, another woman, was shot “10 times” and was almost certainly dead. Then there were four shots, and then nothing. He says the shooting began in the courtyard of the YouTube building where there was a party going on.
(As a caveat, the man refused to give his name to reporters, saying, “Everybody knows me.”)
Update — 2:05 PM: Second report that the suspect is a woman.

KTVU just reported that Mike Finney, an employee at the Carl’s Jr. across the street from the YouTube complex, treated a young Asian woman who had been shot in the calf. He used a bungee cord as a tourniquet until she was evacuated. She was calm and did not seem to have seen the shooter.

Update — 1:25 PM: Employee gives a detailed account of the ordeal from inside — casualties are unknown at this point, but he reports seeing blood:
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
— Todd Sherman (@tdd) April 3, 2018
After existing the room we still didn’t know what was going on but more people were running. Seemed serious and not like a drill.
— Todd Sherman (@tdd) April 3, 2018
We headed towards the exit and then saw more people and someone said that there was a person with a gun. Shit.
— Todd Sherman (@tdd) April 3, 2018
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.
— Todd Sherman (@tdd) April 3, 2018
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.
— Todd Sherman (@tdd) April 3, 2018
Police cruisers pull up, hopped out with rifles ready and I told them where the situation was as I headed down the street to meet up with a couple team members.
