Videos show YouTube being evacuated and SWAT teams entering amid reports of active shooter

Employees say shots broke out around 1 p.m. PST

YouTube’s headquarters in San Bruno, California, has an active shooter situation, police have confirmed. Aerial videos and social media posts show people being evacuated from the building and heavily armored police entering.

Some YouTube employees are using social media to describe what’s happening inside the building.

"I looked down and saw blood drips on the floor and stairs. Peaked around for threats and then we headed downstairs and out the front. Police cruisers pull up, hopped out with rifles ready and I told them where the situation was as I headed down the street to meet up with a couple team members," YouTube product manager Todd Sherman, who said he is safe and on his way home, tweeted.
