Latest: Woman, believed to be shooter, dead and at least four injured at YouTube campus shooting
The Chief of Police at San Bruno, Ed Barberini, says they have found one dead person, said to be female, who appears to have shot themselves.
She is believed to be the shooter at YouTube's California headquarters, but it has not been confirmed as yet.
He said they also found four people with "gunshot-related injuries" at the scene.
“We have four victims who have all been transported for gunshot-related injuries and we have one subject who is deceased inside the building with a self-inflicted wound who, at this time, we believe to be the shooter but we are still following up on that,” he said.

Brent Andrews from the Stanford General Hospital has said that they have taken in three patients from the shooting, one of whom has been described as critical.
He said a 36-year-old man is in critical condition, a 32-year-old woman is in serious condition and a 27-year-old woman is in fair condition.
He said the hospital was expecting more patients but does not know their conditions.
YouTube product manager Todd Sherman said he was in a meeting when he heard people running for the exit.
He said it “seemed serious and not like a drill.”

Will Hudson said his friend who works for YouTube texted him about the assailant.
"I think there might be a shooter in my building," read one text.
"The fire alarm went off so we started to evacuate and then people (started) running saying there was a shooter."
Mr Hudson said his friend has made it safely back to San Francisco and is in contact with his family.
Mr Hudson said he had become accustomed to hearing about such violence but has never been so close to it before.
"It just feels strange. It feels like it could really be anyone. That's really the strangeness of it," he said.
