Nasim Aghdam has been identified as the YouTube shooter that injured three in a San Bruno, California shooting. According to unconfirmed reports, Aghdam allegedly had her own YouTube channel where she would post “rants” about the company. Sources told KRON 4 that Aghdam drove up to San Bruno from Riverside County, California, where she shot a man and 2 women before killing herself. She was reportedly in her 30’s.
San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini was able to confirm that Aghdam died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Three people were injured in the shooting, with one victim being critically injured. None of the victims have been identified or were killed in the shooting.
At this time, authorities believe that the YouTube HQ shooting was due to a domestic dispute. The male victim in the dispute was taken to the hospital, however, he has yet to be identified.
On her website, Aghdam claimed to be a vegan and a PETA activist who was being”filtered” by YouTube. NBC reports that the license plate on a car towed from YouTube’s campus Tuesday was registered to Aghdam. In 2014, she posted a video on YouTube of what appears to be the same car, stating that it was vandalized by “anti-vegans” because the car had a sign saying “meat is murder.”
