TIL Desk/World/Washington/ A woman opened fire at the YouTube headquaters today in the US state of California, wounding three people before killing herself, officials said, calling it a prima facie case of domestic dispute. The suspect, who died of apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, has been identified as 38-year-old Nasim Aghdam, two police officials were quoted.
The headquarters of YouTube, a video-sharing service owned by Alphabet Inc’s Google, in San Bruno near Silicon Valley has a significant number of Indian-American professionals.
Officials said they believe the motive behind the incident was a domestic related-dispute and is not terror-related at this point of the investigation, the report said. The woman shot three people at the YouTube headquarters in Northern California, officials said.
As people scrambled off the patio outside a cafe on the YouTube campus, a fourth person was hurt, injuring her ankle. San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said the suspect was found at the scene and appeared to have killed herself with a 9 mm handgun. The shooter is believed to have known at least one of the victims, two law enforcement officials said.
