San Bruno, United States, April 4 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 4th Apr, 2018 ) :Gunfire erupted at YouTube's offices in California Tuesday, leaving three people wounded by gunshots and sparking a panicked escape before the suspected shooter -- a woman -- apparently committed suicide.
Amid a chaotic scene in the city of San Bruno, a woman believed to be the shooter was found dead at the scene of the Google-owned video sharing service. "We have one subject who is deceased inside the building with a self-inflicted wound," San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini told reporters.
"At this time, we believe it to be the shooter." Officers arriving to numerous calls for help saw employees running from the building, and found a person out front who appeared to be shot in the leg, according to police.
Four people, three suffering from gunshot wounds, were taken to local hospitals, police said. The fourth person hurt suffered a sprained or broken ankle.
Investigators were still trying to figure out a motive, but there were indications it may have sprung from a personal matter.
"I know a lot of you are in shock right now," Google chief executive Sundar Pichai said in a message to employees shared by the company on Twitter. "I am grateful to everyone inside and outside the company for the outpouring of support and best wishes." He thanked emergency workers for springing into action to help, and said that he and YouTube chief Susan Wojcicki were focused on supporting employees in the aftermath of the violence.
"There are no words to describe how horrible it was to have an active shooter @YouTube today," Wojcicki wrote. "Our hearts go out to all those injured and impacted today. We will come together to heal as a family." Shootings by women are a rare occurrence in the United States, where the overwhelming majority of gun violence is carried out by men.
