YouTube to boost security at its offices worldwide after shooting

It’s no surprise, Youtube is amping up their security at their offices, just as they are amping up their efforts at snuffing out gun-related videos. All part of the problem-reaction-solution tactic.

Google said Thursday that it will boost security in YouTube offices globally after the shooting at the video platform's headquarters earlier this week.

On Tuesday, Nasim Najafi Aghdam shot at least three people before dying from a self-inflicted gun shot wound.

Google, which owns YouTube, put out a statement on Twitter Thursday in which it called the shooting "shocking and disturbing" and praised the "heroic acts" of employees and the San Bruno community, where the shooting took place.

The company said that the shooter entered the headquarters through the building's parking garage to the outside courtyard where the shooting took place.

Google said that YouTube employees have been encouraged to take time off of work or work from home and the company is making wellness services available.

YouTube will be increasing the security at its offices globally.
