A shooting at YouTube’s headquarters in San Bruno, California that left three people injured and one person dead deeply affected the greater YouTube community last night.
San Bruno chief of police Ed Barberini said in a press conference on Tuesday that one victim was found on YouTube’s premises with an apparent gunshot wound, and two other victims were found off-site. Police later identified the suspected shooter, a woman in her late ‘30s who lived in Southern California. She died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police.
Some of the platform’s top creators published videos addressing the situation, ending with personal notes about the incident. Other YouTubers decided not to publish videos at all in wake of the tragedy, tweeting their sentiments instead. Most YouTubers who were talking about the incident on Twitter made a call to their followers to not post disingenuous news or rush to retweet every update that came in.
