The family of the YouTube shooter appeared on Good Morning America this morning.
When police located her sleeping in her car, her brother Sean Aghdam, 41, told police he was worried she might be up to something like starting a protest or a fight at YouTube HQ.
LE confirmed to Good Morning America that they told the family not to worry about it and that they would "keep an eye on her."
But, police instead just let her go and Mountain View Chief of PD said his officer only meant he'd keep an eye on her as a "turn of phrase to end the conversation" because it would have been impractical, possibly inappropriate or even a civil rights violation to track someone who hadn't committed a crime.
The brother said he was so concerned that he drove to San Francisco on the morning of the shooting to find her and was almost there when the family was notified of the shooting.
Sean Aghdam immediately knew it was Nasim and turned back. He said his sister had been obsessed with YouTube and that it came up in nearly every conversation with her.
"Right now," father Ismail Aghdam told ABC's Matt Gutman, "I [was] thinking she never hurt one ant, how [did] she shoot people? Right now I [was] thinking that. How she did that? I don't know."
After listening and watching them, I believe this family is truly shocked and distraught and did tell police they were concerned she would start trouble at YouTube.
