The recent reports that revealed about the shooting that took place at the YouTube Headquarters in California, have left everyone perplexed. Reportedly a woman shot and injured three people at the YouTube headquarters located in Northern California before she killed herself. The suspect has been identified as Nasim Aghdam, aged 39, who had previously expressed hostility against YouTube explicitly. Although nothing official against the suspect has been declared as of now, reports confirm the death of a man and injuries sustained by two women.
Such an aggressive act of transgression by a woman has definitely been uncalled for. Several YouTube employees have been hurled out of the quarters. And several celebrities have taken to Twitter and other social media platforms to express solidarity for this event. Celebs including politicians, top executives, YouTube stars and other concerned members have also expressed sympathy in the horrifying wake of the San Bruno shooting.

We can’t keep being reactive to this, thinking and praying it won’t happen again at our schools, jobs, or our community spots. It’s beyond time to evolve our policies. This is a simple and reasonable approach, and it won’t solve all, but it’s a good start: https://t.co/ADYalbaO57 https://t.co/nbXpH9DDyT
