It's a new location but the same old story.

[Barry.]

It seems no one is hurt or it would of said right?

[montblanc]

:bored:

[Scarlett.]

The story has only just broken, no one knows too much yet

[Scarlett.]

News sites are reporting the shooter is a white woman

[Maru]

Supposedly they shot a girl like 10 times (per one witness) and then there were some other shots after that... but the stories are coming in broken up depending on where witnesses were... but seems there were a lot of shots and then a pause, and then some more shots...

[Barry.]

Wow a woman shooter.

[Maru]

Lovers tryst possibly according to Fox News

[Strictly Jake]

I didn't know there was a youtube hq I just thought everything was just ran online

[GiRTh]

The shooter is deceased at the scene.

[kirklancaster]

This world gets sicker and sicker.

[kirklancaster]

The shooter is deceased at the scene.

That's one consolation I suppose Girth.

[Scarlett.]

Not clear if the shooter is dead or not at the scene anymore yet, police should be making a statement in the coming minutes.

[Scarlett.]

Confirmed female suspect is dead

[Scarlett.]

4 people injured it seems, one subject dead, suspected to be the shooter, suicide it seems.

My first thought was that it could be backlash for the gun measures Youtube have put in place, a lot of pro-gun channels have been banned or completely demonetised.

[Scarlett.]

So far it seems like the only death is the shooter. Thank goodness.

I thought this too, YouTube HQ is too specific a location.

[Eddie.]

Such a cruel world we live in today eh?

Thank god for that...

[Mystic Mock]

What an awful thing to have happen.

You Tube HQ
owned by Google
Censored her postings
She had gone missing, her dad warned Police.

[Nicky91]

awful news :(

[Oliver_W]

Her channel seems to have been purged, I wonder what kind of videos she made? Shoe0nhead or Blaire White shared a screenshot which seemed to be some kind of vegan video? But anyway, it only had a few hundred views, which isn't enough to make money on Youtube anymore, so clearly not censorship or demonitisation for her ideas.

[Saph]

her makeup is on fleek

Looks like she went down 100,000 views in the space of 9 months, and she was at one point on 300k views at least, if she eventually went down to a few hundred views per vid because of the new YouTube update, then it looks like the reasoning is confirmed.

Edit: she had five channels(!?) the image shows screengrabs from two different channels

[Cherie]

Tragic case really, looks like she snapped.

Hundreds of Youtubers find themsleves being ****ed over by Youtube these last few years. No excuse to try to kill four people.

Yeah, YT's censorship/demonetization/other policies, etc right now is increasingly controversial. I'm pro-decentralization, so I don't think that people should be putting all their eggs in one basket if they're seriously dependent on a website for a livelihood... not a good way to keep a business up. And we can't always be dependent on a single website anyway... have known a fair few third parties to up and go out of the blue with people's portfolios on them. :facepalm: Happens more often than people realize.

Still, I don't see how shooting up Google was a stellar idea... I'm kind of waiting to hear the rest of the story, because so far it sounds like someone just flipping out, heading to a store and shooting up the staff there because that person received very bad customer service (i.e. getting screwed on a large purchase)... sure, it could happen on that basis, but seems like there would likely be other factors too.
