The headquarters is located at 901 Cherry Avenue.  Further details are unavailable at this time.  Possible active shooter at Youtube in San Bruno | KRON4 | KRON4 https://twitter.com/Lavrusik/status/981259304408788993
Holyshit, Hopefully its not true and just fireworks or something.
Christ, hopefully this gets resolved quickly. Why YouTube though? Is it someone who got pissed off about their new rules about gun content?
I'm honestly surprised tech campuses haven't been hit before, they seem like a soft target with a high societal impact.
Could be, but I think that's unlikely. What are the odds someone would be willing to throw their life away over Youtube channels getting banned, but still has their shit together enough to pull off an attack? The most probable reason is some sort of employee dispute, same as most workplace shootings. We don't have any info yet though so this is pure prior probabilities on my part.
From an employee (it's a thread): https://twitter.com/tdd/status/981262640830754817

The situation seems to be contained, on the live stream there's cops just casually standing around and walking in and out the building with their weapons down.
Reading the tweets the employees are making. It sounds like another LAX situation, where someone dropped a pallet, then someone thought it was a gun and people began to freak out over everything. If someone was rolling around killing people I don't think you'd be able to catch an Uber ride home 20 minutes after someone said there was a active shooter.
Dropped pallets definitely cause blood to spontaneously pool up and the floor to rumble

Of course they are
A hundred people running for their lives in an office building would, though. I've heard large crowds running in upper floors - it sounds very similar to an earthquake (to the point that I later mistook an earthquake for a human stampede). I don't know how crowded the Youtube offices are but it's plausible.

Shooter confirmed by police The San Mateo County Sheriff's confirmed that an active shooter situation is taking place place on the campus. Another law enforcement source confirms to ABC7 News reporter Dan Noyes that the shooter is a white, adult female wearing a dark top and head scarf. The source told ABC7 News multiple people have been injured, including a shot to the chest. There are no reported fatalities at this time.

So far according to ABC and dailymail, it's a white woman in a black top with a headscarf who fired twenty shots after coming in through the backdoor. Also she is apparently still at large.

Looks like it was a female shooter, that's rare.
37 injuries? Jesus.
I live a couple blocks from the shooting and there are helicopters circling all over the place. My dad works across the street from there and luckily came home for lunch.
People are really going to jump onto the "headscarf" part of that physical description.
I wonder what this one is over.
Kind of doesn't make sense for them to latch onto that when the other part of the description clearly says "white female" lol. Though you're probably right. People are stupid and racist.

If you're watching the Sky 7 livestream, it definitely looks like there's a yellow body cover on the ground under the pavilion in the lunch area. I saw it earlier and wasn't sure about it but I can see it now. Obviously can't confirm anything but it does look worrying.
There's some skaterguy on the livestream talking about some guy who was bleeding out in that lunchroom while he was trying to get out of the building. Thats probably him.
Yeah, but if you were planning to shoot up a place and then escape, you'd have to be a complete idiot to not even try to cover your head. At this point, trying to figure out motive is futile - we'd be guessing at random. The scant evidence we have is consistent with too many hypotheses - it could be anything from a disgruntled employee, to a fame-seeking psychopath, or a lone-wolf terrorist waving the flag of anything from ISIS to ELF.
That's what I was thinking. But this guy's story doesn't match up with the police information that the shooter is a female, so it's a little all over the place. It'll probably be a little while before details are cleared up.
