Update on YouTube Shooting
The YouTube shooter purchased her 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun at an undisclosed San Diego dealer on Jan. 16, more than two months before she stormed into the San Bruno company’s outdoor cafeteria area and shot random employees as a result of her dispute over YouTube’s new video policies, according to San Bruno Police Commander Geoff Caldwell. The gun was registered in her name.
While the total number of shots is not determined, Caldwell said Ms Aghdam fired “several” and blasted through at least one magazine and reloaded with a second before firing again.
“Halfway through she exchanged magazines and continued shooting until she turned the gun on herself,” Caldwell said. One spent magazine was found at the scene, along with the gun and the second loaded magazine, he said.
California law limits gun magazines to 10 rounds each, but Caldwell said he did not know if Aghdam’s were legal. Her handgun had a 17-bullet capacity, according to Smith & Wesson.
To purchase the firearm, Aghdam would have had to pass a background check that reviewed any criminal history, DMV records, outstanding warrants, restraining orders and mental health holds.
Meanwhile, her father told Daily Mail reporters that he doesn't believe his nice and hard-working daughter meant to shoot anyone but herself (denial, delusion, lying?).
Her father also said today that his daughter had no mental problems, just anger at how YouTube treated her and refused to listen to her complaints and help her. In addition, he continued to insist he'd warned police that she might be headed to YouTube to do something and asked them to bring her home, but police told him they had no cause to do so.
The male shooting victim remains in critical condition according to today's news reports.
