His statement came hours after a shooter opened fire on YouTube’s San Bruno, Calif., headquarters Tuesday afternoon, putting the campus on lockdown.

The suspected shooter, whom law enforcement identified as a woman, was found dead from what authorities believe was a self-inflicted gunshot wound. 

The attack left three employees injured: a 36-year-old man, who was in critical condition; a 32-year-old woman in serious condition; and a 27-year-old woman in fair condition. 

President Trump has been briefed on the shooting. He offered his “thoughts and prayers” to “everybody” involved in a tweet on Tuesday.
