The woman who shot three people at YouTube headquarters in Northern California has been identified. Her name is Nasim Aghdam, two law enforcement sources told CNN.
Nasim took her own life after the shootings. She was found at the scene and appeared to have shot herself with a handgun, but the investigation is just beginning, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said.
A spokesman for Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, a level 1 trauma center, said the facility received three patients. One 36-year-old man was in critical condition, one 32-year-old woman was in serious condition and one 27-year-old woman was in fair condition.
The shooter is said to have known at least one of the victims, two law enforcement officials told CNN. However, the motive was unclear.
YouTube which was founded in February 2005, quickly became the most well-known of several online video sites. In 2006 Google said it was purchasing YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock.
More than 1,100 people work at the YouTube office in San Bruno. Employees there include engineers working on site search, infrastructure, content channels and ad products; and sales teams that work with advertisers and content creators.
