YouTube's headquarters in San Bruno is still considered an "active event and investigation" following a shooting incident on Tuesday. According to San Bruno Chief of Police Ed Barberini, three people were shot and one is dead from a possible self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Barberini told gathered press that, following "numerous 911 calls" received at 12:46pm local time, San Bruno police arrived on the scene minutes later to find one victim with an apparent gunshot wound near the front of YouTube's official building. After that, the police's search turned up a female victim dead via a "wound that may have been self-inflicted" inside the building. Two additional victims were located several minutes later at adjacent businesses.

The building has since been fully evacuated, according to Barberini. The press conference did not include confirmation on names of victims, the type of weapon used, whether the dead woman on the scene was the sole shooter, or what relationship the woman had with YouTube and its staff.
