Shooting At YouTube Headquarters Ends With Four Wounded, One Dead
Update 5:20 PM: LA Times has confirmed that there was a single fatality, believed to be the shooter, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot. At the outset, law enforcement believes this to be a case of workplace or domestic violence and not terrorism, but the investigation has just begun. Both Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Stanford Medical Center have reported they have received or expect to receive wounded victims, but do not know their conditions.
Update 4:08 PM: The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the shooting has resulted in fatalities. A Zuckerberg Hospital spokesperson told THR that there have been "a number of patients with gunshot wounds."
On a more optimistic note, YouTube gaming head Ryan Wyatt has confirmed that he and YouTube gaming team are unharmed.
