a room or barricaded in an office, you know, you want to keep your voice down, you want to text if you can, you want to make sure your light s not seen. and you don t want to open that door even if somebody says they re police. you have to verify that. you have to double check. you can call 911 and verify. you can ask for an i.d. under the door. you can listen for their radios and multiple officers don t just fall for anybody saying they re the police. stay barricaded. there s plenty of time. these things get over quickly if you stay safe. but you have a great point, nicolle, i m telling you, the commander in these volatile situations, you need specific information. anybody that can get that to you through your friends, relatives on the outside, directly to the police, you really need that information. and we understand that the police are still describing this as an active shooter situation. does that make clear to you, jim, that this is someone who has not been apprehended, who sti
going to be en route. we ve also got a statement that has been released from google which, of course, owns youtube saying regarding the youtube situation, we re coordinating with authorities and will provide official information here from google and youtube as it becomes available. san bruno police have taken to social media confirming we re responding to an active shooter. they re asking people to stay away from that area at this time. the ariel video we ve seen coming from youtube headquarters has seen people walking out of the building being escorted out with hands up and a lot of s.w.a.t. team activity happening around the building there. it s not clear exactly what happened, did this start just outside of the building, inside the building? and we also don t know the current situation, how many people, if anyone, were shot and what s the latest situation with the person who went in there with a gun. nicolle? is. thank you. jim cavanaugh, let me come back to you just on the topic
