She was 39-year-old Nasim Aghdam from San Diego.

Police are no longer certain that she was the girlfriend of the male victim. Instead, they now believe it's likely that there was no connection between the shooter and the YouTube employees she shot.

Aghdam, an animal rights activist and exercise buff, reportedly hated YouTube and had been ranting on-line about how new dictatorial employees at YouTube had filtered her video content and denied her advertiser sponsors, which drastically reduced the number of her YouTube video views.

Her family reported her missing on Monday and her father says he even told police that he was worried she was headed for YouTube HQ because "she hated YouTube". Police later called the family to tell them she was located sleeping in her car.

A press conference will be held at 9am PT.

I thought there was a waiting period for buying guns! I seriously thought that was one of the things gun buyers hated, the dreaded waiting period, because really, any pissed off person should be able to go buy a gun in the heat of anger. Jesus Christ.

What makes you think there isn't a waiting period? Depending on the state, the waiting period is usually between 2-7 days, in California it's 10 days.

True and false BG. While some states, like Ill & Ca do have waiting periods, others like Ia, where I live, does not. Because I hold a Permit to carry dangerous weapons I can legally purchase a firearm without a waiting period or background check. Actually, because I have filled out the 4473 so many times I can be out the door in about 5 minutes, gun in hand.

You are correct when you say that the laws vary state to state. That is one reason why I say the system needs flushed and a new system built. I really believe it should be a standard set of rules, for both purchase and carry, across the nation, just like a drivers license.

I really don't like Wikipedia, but in this instance I will use them because I feel its the easiest to read. For anyone that wants to see how much of a mess the laws are, state to state, scroll down and look at the differences in the state laws.

In California, where it's REALLY hard to get a firearm, the waiting period is 10 days. She was in California. So help me out with this one F.U., how was this mentally unstable woman able to get a pistol in one of the hardest states to purchase one and commit this horrible crime? Hmmm... Gun reform you say? Nuff said.

I agree, I am really surprised that this one got through the cracks living in Banafornia. I haven't ben watching this situation so I too am interested in hearing how this happened.

ETA . . . If she was otherwise legal to purchase a handgun and her mental state was the only thing that would have restricted her, I can see how she purchased one. Until the mental health system and the N.I.C.S. system get linked this is going to be a possibility.

I myself was guilty of assuming the situation as the news first broke. I assumed it was a pissed off gun lover that was mad at utube over their recent decision to ban some firearm related videos. I should have never made that assumption, bad me.
