Police respond to report of shooter at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California
Authorities surround YouTube's San Bruno, California, headquarters but haven't confirmed that there was a actual shooting.
Police have been called to YouTube’s global headquarters in Silicon Valley amid reports of a gunman on the loose.
A local hospital confirmed to Fox News it was receiving "multiple patients" but did not give any details of numbers or injuries.
An official in San Bruno, California, told local television that there had been "multiple 911 calls" and police were asking local people to avoid the area.
“We are responding to an active shooter. Please stay away from Cherry Ave & Bay Hill Drive.”
In a statement, San Bruno police said: "We are working in an active investigation at YouTube. We're asking that you just follow us on social media for any updates."
Vadim Lavrusik, a YouTube employee, tweeted that he and his colleagues saw people running and barricaded themselves inside the offices. After around 20 minutes he tweeted again to say that he had been evacuated, and footage from helicopters showed hundreds of employees leaving the sprawling campus, being checked for weapons as they went.
