Multiple social media reports, including from YouTube employees, have indicated there is an active shooter at the company's northern California headquarters. The San Bruno Police have confirmed an active shooter at the address for the campus, and the ATF has responded to the site.
The San Bruno Police Department held a press conference shortly after 2:30PM PT confirming four victims and one deceased, a female with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"We have four victims who have all been transported [to area hospitals] for gunshot related injuries," said San Bruno police chief Ed Barberini, "and we have one subject who is deceased inside the building with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and at this time we believe to be the shooter, but we're still following up on that."
The police suspected but did not confirm whether she was the shooter. Those wounded have been transported to nearby hospitals with "treatable" wounds according to the police chief. The YouTube HQ building has been evacuated fully as far as they know.
San Bruno city manager Connie Jackson told BuzzFeed News that the city received multiple emergency 911 calls about shots fired both inside the YouTube headquarters offices and from the surrounding area. The campus typically houses over 1,100 employees. At this time, it is not clear if there are any more victims.
Google's official communication Twitter account posted that they are coordinating with authorities, but had nothing to announce yet.
Later, the company confirmed that it's working with local hospitals, too, and that its security team is helping authorities evacuate buildings.
