YouTube shooting

On Tuesday, a shooter opened fire at the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California.

YouTube employees were eating lunch in an open-air courtyard at the time the shooter, who has been identified by police as a woman, entered. Three people were injured by gunfire.

Police arrived within five minutes of the shooting, according to local law enforcement, and found the shooter dead inside the building from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Business Insider reporters were on the scene in the aftermath of the incident, as YouTube employees and bystanders waited for police to sweep the area and ensure they were safe.

Here are the first photos from YouTube headquarters in the hours after the shooting.

When we arrived around 1 p.m., YouTube employees and bystanders, some visibly shaken, were standing in a nearby parking lot after being evacuated from the office buildings.



Around 2 p.m., police told YouTube employees and Business Insider reporters that there was an active shooter situation and that no one was allowed to leave the parking lot.



"There is a suspect outstanding. You guys are in a safe space," a police officer said.
