The woman, who was identified as vegan bodybuilder Nasim Aghdam, entered the area at around lunchtime where she shot a 36-year-old man by the outdoor patio and dining area. The man is in critical condition with a fatal gunshot wound to the stomach. Two other women, aged 32 and 27, were also shot and are in serious and fair condition.

The shooter then shot herself after injuring the three employees.

In 2009, Aghdam accused YouTube of censorship and being dictatorial in their policies. She complained that the company had stopped paying her due to inappropriate content posted on her channel. Before the incident, the shooter’s father reportedly told police that Aghdam hated the company for cutting off her payment.

YouTube employees were seen through CCTV footage fleeing the area as others called for 911.

Todd Sherman, a product manager for YouTube tweeted that he was in a meeting when the shooting occurred.

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

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.

Several other employees also tweeted during the incident.

I am behind another building with colleagues. There are helicopters. There are lots of police nearby. I don’t know if the shooter has been found. If you hear they’ve been found, tell me. I’m safe for now, but don’t feel safe until they’ve been found.

The three victims were not named, however it was reported that the man was the shooter’s boyfriend. The cause of the shooting is still unclear, however police are speculating that the incident is due to a domestic dispute rather than an act of terrorism.

President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting and issued out a statement on his Twitter.

Was just briefed on the shooting at YouTube’s HQ in San Bruno, California. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody involved. Thank you to our phenomenal Law Enforcement Officers and First Responders that are currently on the scene.
