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.

    Write a check out to your favorite NRA apologist, then write "Thoughts And Prayers" in the two places where the dollar amount would normally go.

    If I can find my postage stamps I'm gonna do some of this.

    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.

        Yep - it's as clear as mud. WTF are you even going on about? There are at least as many redneck gun owners in Arkansas, alone, as there are Muslims in the United States. Clear to you - are you a carp? Do you feed in the murky bottom waters of a polluted river?

        Oh, so you and a team of shrinks have ruled out any possible influence of this broad's religion on her actions. Derp-a-derp!

          But you and your supeeerb mental abilities can definitively say that her religious exposure IS to blame. Glass house bub.

    I can see how to write that amount in words, but how do you write "thoughts and prayers" in digits?
