Police are responding to an active shooter situation at YouTube's headquarters in San Bruno, California. Employees evacuated the building and police are warning people to avoid the area.
The San Mateo County Sheriff's Office tells CBS News it is treating the situation as an "active shooter incident" but declined to provide more details. A spokesman for San Francisco General Hospital said the hospital is receiving patients but did not say how many.
The San Bruno Police Department also confirmed they were responding to an active shooter. They asked people in the area to stay away from Cherry Ave and Bay Hill Drive.
The San Mateo County Coroner said they have been called to the scene, which means that people have died in the incident.
Area hospitals Stanford Health Care and San Francisco General Hospital are both receiving about 5-6 patients, CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas reports.
Heavily armed police surrounded the facility, with armed SWAT vehicles stationed outside. Police officers could be seen patting down employees evacuating the campus to a nearby parking lot, where they were surrounded by police cars.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Trump has been briefed on the shooting and they are "monitoring the ongoing situation."
Several employees tweeted they heard gunfire Tuesday afternoon. Vadim Lavrusik said he barricaded himself and others inside a room before they were able to escape safely.
Google, YouTube's parent company, said in a statement that they are "coordinating with authorities and will provide official information here from Google and YouTube as it becomes available."
The headquarters is about 12 miles south of downtown San Francisco, close to San Francisco International Airport.
The San Francisco Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) said it was responding to the scene.
Edit: According to CNN “Law enforcement officials tell CNN's Evan Perez the suspected shooter at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California, was a woman and she is dead.”
