Another staff tweeted: “I am behind another building with colleagues. There are helicopters. There are lots of police nearby. I don’t know if the shooter has been found. If you hear they’ve been found, tell me. I’m safe for now, but don’t feel safe until they’ve been found.”

Zuckerberg General Hospital told NBC News that it had received three patients and was expecting more, while Stanford Medical Center said it was expecting four or five patients.
Local police say the shooter may have died from self-inflicted gunshot wound.
San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini, speaking on the incident, said: “We have four victims who have all been transported for gunshot related injuries. We have one suspect who is deceased inside the building with a self-inflicted wound.”
Authorities don’t believe the shooting was an act of terrorism, but a case of domestic or workplace violence.
