Numerous media sources are naming the suspect in Tuesday’s shooting at the YouTube campus in San Bruno, California as Nasim Aghdam.
Late Tuesday evening, Ars called the San Bruno Police Department, and the dispatcher who picked up the phone was unable to “confirm or deny” that Aghdam was the shooter, citing an “ongoing investigation.”
“The incident at YouTube remains a San Bruno PD investigation,” emailed Cameron Rogers Polan, a spokesperson for the FBI’s San Francisco bureau. “I’m going to have to refer you to the investigating agency.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Aghdam’s car was towed from the YouTube parking lot.
Aghdam, a woman apparently from Southern California, seemingly had a website in which she promotes numerous YouTube channels, including ones in English, Turkish, and Farsi. All of her social media channels appear to have been deactivated or removed.
