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.

    Of course not...

    But if she isn't a citizen she was facing homelessness in America... I'd imagine that wouldn't be a fun idea for someone who had worked on maintaining her looks. And it's not like she could get financial help even if she DID have support from home - their currency was already worth nothing next to the dollar, and is on a steep downward trajectory due to sanctions. It looks like she bet everything she had on a future in the USA, lost on the cusp of success for a nonsensical/arbitrary reason that she percieved as malicious, and went killdozer [wikipedia.org] crazy.

      Turns out she was already living in her car [cbs17.com]... and in addition she wasn't muslim. She was bah'ai [religionnews.com], a religious minority in Iran, and are one of the few religions who could claim to be more into peace than buddhists.
