The woman identified by police as the attacker who wounded three people at YouTubeโs headquarters in California was a vegan blogger who accused the video-sharing service of discriminating against her, according to her online profile.
Police said 39-year-old Nasim Najafi Aghdam from San Diego was behind Tuesdayโs shooting at YouTubeโs offices in Silicon Valley, south of San Francisco, where the company owned by Alphabet Incโs Google employs nearly 2,000 people.
A man was in critical condition and two women were seriously wounded in the attack, which ended when Aghdam shot and killed herself.
Californian media reported that Aghdamโs family had warned the authorities that she may target YouTube prior to the shooting. Her father Ismail Aghdam told The Mercury News that he had told police that she might be going to YouTubeโs headquarters because she โhatedโ the company. (Reuters)
