GRAEME MACDONALD/via REUTERS A woman entered the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, CA and fired a gun, injuring three people and then killing herself.
The woman, who has not been identified, reportedly shot her boyfriend and others before shooting herself. Three victims of the shooting have have been admitted to San Francisco General Hospital: a 36-year-old man, a 27-year-old woman and a 32-year-old woman. The man is in critical condition, the 27-year-old woman is in fair condition and the 32-year-old woman is in serious condition.
One of the women that was shot reportedly crawled to a nearby Carl’s Jr., where people attempted to help her stop the bleeding.
“I was trying to find tools to help her and I found a bungee cord and I tied that around her leg to stop the blood flow,” a Carl’s Jr. employee told Fox News. “She was scared.”
While the investigation is in the preliminary phase, it is believed that the shooting stemmed from a domestic issue and was therefore not an act of terrorism.
YouTube producer Todd Sherman described on Twitter how some people initially thought an earthquake was happening:
