At 12.46pm, police received multiple emergency calls about an active shooter at the headquarters of the Google unit. Officers arrived to a frantic scene, with employees pouring out of the buildings. During the lunch hour, a female shooter had opened fire and injured at least three people, before killing herself. The shooter’s identity and motive have not been confirmed.
