Several employees took to the platform to say there was a shooting and they were running out of the YouTube campus.
Vadim Lavrusik, who works on the Product department, tweeted: "Active shooter at YouTube HQ. Heard shots and saw people running while at my desk. Now barricaded inside a room with coworkers."
He later sent out another tweet saying he was safe.
President Trump quickly responded to the incident, tweeting: "Was just briefed on the shooting at YouTube’s HQ in San Bruno, California. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody involved. Thank you to our phenomenal Law Enforcement Officers and First Responders that are currently on the scene."
