4 shot at YouTube headquarters near San Francisco

Police confirmed that four people were shot Tuesday at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California, just south of San Francisco.

San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said that the gunshot victims had been transported to area hospitals in unknown conditions. The suspect, a female, was found dead at the scene, apparently of a "self-inflicted" gunshot wound, though Barberini said the investigation is still "active." No identification or motive was addressed.

The injured reportedly include a 32-year-old female who is in "serious" condition, a 27-year-old female in "fair" condition, and a 36-year-old man who is in "critical" condition, per CNN. All three have been transported to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, a spokesman confirmed, and CNN reported all are expected to survive. Law enforcement is still working to clear the building, said Barberini.
