YouTube office shooting a possible domestic dispute, police say

Two police officers looking into the fatal shooting which occurred at YouTube’s offices in California say the incident was being investigated as a domestic dispute.

The security operatives who did not reveal the motive for the shooting identified the shooter as a southern California resident named Nasim Aghdam.

Reports say there was panic and disarray at YouTube’s offices in California after the eruption of gunfire which left no less than three people injured before the suspected assailant- a woman committed suicide by shooting herself.

After opening fire at the suburban Northern California campus of Google’s YouTube, wounding three and sending panicked employees fleeing from their offices, the shooter was later found dead after shooting herself 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.”

San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said three gunshot victims, and a fourth person hurt running from the attack, were transported Tuesday afternoon to local hospitals.
