Workplace Shootings Are Becoming More Popular

Government statistics show that workplace shootings are on the rise

A woman opened fire at YouTube's headquarters in San Bruno, California, on Tuesday afternoon, injuring at least four people before apparently turning the gun on herself, The New York Times reports.

Reports of gun shots and a possible shooter reached San Mateo County dispatchers shortly before 1 p.m., around the time YouTube employee Vadim Lavrusik tweeted that an "active shooter" was on the premises, and that he had barricaded himself in a room with co-workers.

Once armed police swarmed the company's headquarters, employees were evacuated to a nearby parking lot. Authorities have yet to release any more information about the alleged shooter or her motivations.
