that situation as soon as possible, either getting that person to put down the weapon which almost never occurs, or more likely, be able to try to shoot or stop the threat. so that s their immediate concern. hopefully that process has occurred and is either under way or the situation is kind of contained itself. then obviously they want to get to treating these people that have been hurt. nicolle? tom winter, i realize your name isn t up to our viewers. you ve been listening to nbc s tom winter who talks us through, sadly, a lot of these tragedies. tom, i want to ask you if you can respond to what kara swisher was able to share with our viewers, which is an account that she acknowledges is unconfirmed with police or with youtube or google, but she understands and has heard that the shooter was shot and kara, go ahead and jump in if i get any of this wrong. sure. no reporting on whether or not the shooter was injured, but that the shooter was shot and that at least two other peopl
whether or not when they will looking for anybody else. nicole, yannicoll nicolle, you and i have sadly done this before. so there are often reports when there a third or second shooter when there isn t. so that is the process that is occurring. so tonight soon to say with any sort of certainty that whoever may be responsible for this incident, that that person is in fact either no longer shooting, no longer with us or is in custody in some way. just too soon to say. kara swis to talk about the security that exists at most tech companies. which you describe the security at youtube headquarters where you were last week, you said that you needed to badge in. are there guards, where there
inside their workplace waiting for the all-clear. we have seen some images from people who are outside of youtube, the businesses, buildings surrounding it, saying they, too, are on lockdown as a precaution. we have seen at least one image, video coming from people, some people coming out of the youtube building with their hands up. it s a sight we ve seen many times over the last few years especially at schools. again, none of that is officially confirmed right now. obviously there s a lot of police activity happening around this building. it s on cherry street in san bru bruno. just south of san francisco. nicolle? near the heart of silicon valley. please jump right back on our air with any new details you learn. we ll keep on open line with you and to you. please jump right back on with any updates. obviously we hope for everyone s safety. sadly, this is america in 2018. thank you so much. we were just getting started in a conversation about donald trump s rather bizarre day of
from google, the google campus. it s owned by google, which in turn is owned by alphabet. so it s separate and been run separately since its founding essentially. since google bought it also. and it s and it has a building right on the street in san bruno. it s relatively accessible. it s not a campus-like setting like other tech headquarters. i was just there the other day and walked right into the lobby. it s a very beautiful area lobby, very easy, the cafeteria, an outdoor area, then you have to badge into sign in, obviously, when you get there but you have to badge into the area where the employees are which is up to several there are several different levels of stairs there. but it s an open and airy facility, again, very easy to walk into for certain. kara, stay on the line with us. especially as you re getting information in real time from folks inside and at youtube, if you will. let me bring into the conversation nbc s tom winter who joins us now with new details on wh
we see a familiar sight of people exiting their workplace. it s the youtube headquarters there in san bruno. about four miles south of san francisco, with their hands above their head to make clear to law enforcement that they represent no risk to anyone. take us inside what law enforcement is doing right now. yeah, the critical thing here, nicolle, is to always locate the shooter or shooters. they ve got to locate him. they ve got to isolate him. they ve got to evacuate the people and then they have to eliminate the threat. so that s the way the commanders see it. so when they re getting there, it s really critical that people that are on the ground in the youtube headquarters, you know, if they re on their media, if they know where the shooter is, in the hallway, in an office, that they can relay that to 911 because what s critical for the on-scene commanders is is to locate that shooter. once they do that, they can isolate then evacuate and eliminate the threat. and it s a difficu
