(AP) – A day before a woman opened fire at YouTube headquarters, her father said he warned police that his daughter was upset with the company’s handling of her videos and might be planning to go to its offices, where she later wounded three people before killing herself.
Police disputed the father’s statement Wednesday, saying that Nasim Aghdam’s family gave no warning she might commit violence.
Authorities also said Aghdam also visited a gun range before she entered a courtyard Tuesday at YouTube’s main offices south of San Francisco, pulled out a handgun and fired several rounds. Investigators do not believe the 39-year-old targeted anyone in particular.
She told family members that she believed the company was suppressing her videos, which included segments about veganism, animal cruelty and exercise, along with glamor shots of herself.
The shooter got into the building through a parking garage, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said.
