From NPR:

Police are responding to an active shooter at the headquarters of YouTube. A hospital has received "several" patients from the incident, a spokesman says.

Local TV news reports show pictures of people evacuating a building with their hands over their heads. Each person was being frisked by a police officer, apparently to make sure that they pose no threat.

Local law enforcement officials have not issued any information.

From Reuters:

Police in San Bruno warned people in a Twitter message to stay away from the address where YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc's Google, is based.

"We are responding to an active shooter. Please stay away from Cherry Ave & Bay Hill Drive," San Bruno police said on Twitter.

Lisa Kim, a spokeswoman for Stanford Health Care, said the hospital was receiving between four to five patients from the shooting incident at the YouTube offices.

        I'm not seeing what America's oldest civil rights organization has to do with a jihadi. Perhaps, despite ignoring the law on murder, you think she'd have just stopped if getting the pistol were illegal? ("Oh darn, I guess I can't slay infidels because 3D-printing a pistol would be a crime.")

        The last time anything NRA-related was involved in a massacre, it was a barefooted NRA safety instructor who ran down the street with his AR-15 to successfully stop a bad person. This was good.

          It seems clear to me that the NRA would lose a lot of money if they cut out the conservative muslim demographic from their marketing. More so than the white conservative, because the muslims are not so interested in who is president at the time they make their purchases.

          They are not driven by fear shouted to them about the government is going to take their guns; instead, they are driven by the intrinsic motivation of righteousness. And that will always sell bullets.

      Dear USA,

      Could I suggest the following template for reporting the daily shooting over there? It'd make for a lot less work for people reporting the story every day:

      A gun[man|woman] killed $number_victims people in today's shooting at $location, including $number_child_victims children. The shooter had a long history of [mental illness|violent crime|criminal convictions] but was nevertheless able to amass an arsenal of military-style weapons. The president interrupted his golf to rush out the all-important thoughts and prayers to the victims' families. The NRA stated that it was too early to talk about gun control.

      Love,

      The rest of the world.

                    No, it's not. Whether a gun is involved in a murder is irrelevant. The key word there is murder, dipshit, and we're nowhere near the top of the list in murder rates.

            What people willfully overlook is the reaction promulgated in the media. This will continue for some time as long as the media feeds on these tragedies. It encourages anonymous nobodies to take up arms and make headlines. The media cannot seem to give it a rest and every crazy asshole knows this.
