A vegan bodybuilder who shot and wounded three people at YouTube’s headquarters near San Francisco before killing herself had practised target shooting at a range hours earlier, police said.
Nasim Aghdam, 37, had been angry with the company because it had stopped paying for the content she regularly uploaded, according to her father, Ismail Aghdam. He said that he had warned police about her resentment towards YouTube when he alerted them that she had gone missing.
A few hours before the attack the family received a call from police in Mountain View, near San Bruno, where YouTube is located, telling them that Aghdam had been found asleep in her car and that everything was “under control”.
