    A shooting rampage in America? that's both shocking and unusual..... If only there was a good guy with a gun.

    YouTube HQ?

    At least they'll be smart enough to take footage in landscape

    It will take a few shootings in US tech companies to get a groundswell of support for gun control to really gain momentum.

    Course we don't know why this shooter is there but i think it's long past time that some of these social media tech companies are regulated. Their platforms can be used to destroy people's lives and there's very little can be done about it....

    So sorry for those injured or dead, but this is just so "ah here, another one" now, so no one takes any notice anymore. Such is America.

    No just immune to it now. That's the society they chose to have where any idiot is allowed have a weapon, let them at it. I have zero sympathy since Sandyhook.

    Let's call the random victims collateral damage, it works for their military when they kill innocent civilians.

    Fox news just reported the shooter is a white female wearing a white top....I'm sure if you watch their live feed you'll see it. Also CNBC reported that there is no immediate threat at YouTube offices....whether that means shooter is down or captured I don't know

    Are we expected to have sympathy every time it happens and the USA does nothing to take guns from people?
    Or they take guns from people when they have killed innocents with guns, and the police kill the shooter using their guns..

    Of course, and multiple candles everywhere with tears, and bunches of flowers to match. Awful denial.

    Until/ unless they kill someone they are not murderers or assassins.

    ABC reports that she is a white woman wearing a dark top and a headscarf. She reportedly came through the back door and fired at least 20 shots, according to an unnamed law enforcement source.

    Witnesses say there were multiple injuries but no fatalities have been reported.
    She doesn't seem to be too handy with that aul' gun.

    Eye witness said one shot ten times, so must be dead after ten shots. He saw it all, has pictures on his phone.

    That is the logical next step, in fact the perfect meta murder would be someone pinging their victim to watch a live stream, seeing the gun for real and themselves on screen at the same moment. Someone will do it. Maybe someone has already done it.

    Active potential assassin FGS.

    Shooter is just NRA talk. To minimise it.

    Anyway give it 24 hours and will all be forgotten.

    Can anyone remember (without looking it up) the recent school assassinations in Florida? and Sandy Hook, and so many other places. It is unreal now. But Americans just seem to accept it, despite all the marches in Florida.

    If the NRA won't move, this is it.

    Yep Parklane the 15th school shooting since January. Don't worry someone will be along soon to tell us why you can't take away their guns because of the 2nd amendment that was drafted when Indians, wild Animals and the British were the danger.
