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.

Wait wait wait, so "You know, it's quite possible to not shoot your mouth off about other nations' entirely domestic issues that don't concern you in any way at all. Americans do it all the time." was entirely serious? I saw it with a +funny mod at the time and that made sense. The US sticks its nose in everyone's business!!

Absolutely serious. Our media doesn't report your everyday bullshit so nobody over here even knows about it.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

Shooting shit up in public space/schools is "everyday bullshit" in America. That's the fucking problem, you numbnut.

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.

Name another country where random shoot-up/carve-up/bomb-out what-have-you killing buncha people happen on weekly base.
"Nowhere near the top of the list?" Let's give ourselves a medal then.
Dumbass.

Most all of them of any significant size. When your nation isn't even as big as most of our states, you kind of expect that it's going to have less gross crimes of any variety.

Incorrect, we hear about every terrorist attack on western nations, along with any other international news that helps US propaganda. Pay attention!

Do you? I have to go to international sources if I want to hear/read about any non-domestic attacks. Even Brexit didn't get much domestic coverage.
