Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) on Tuesday decried the shooting at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, Calif., saying the nation’s current position on guns has allowed such incidents to become commonplace.
« Only in America is a shooter unleashing gunfire in an office building a common occurrence. Only in America are people evacuating the scene of a shooting with their hands on their heads is a familiar sight, » Feinstein said in a statement.
« We simply must take meaningful steps to stop these shootings and stem the tide of gun violence in our communities. We are a nation awash in guns, » she continued.
Feinstein’s comments come after a shooter opened fire at the YouTube campus, injuring four people.
San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said that authorities found a deceased woman with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, whom they believe is the shooter.
The shooting comes over a month after 17 people were killed in a shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla., reigniting debate over the nation’s gun laws.
Other California lawmakers took to social media to react to Tuesday’s shooting in San Bruno:
President Trump confirmed on Twitter he was briefed on the situation, tweeting « thoughts and prayers » for those affected by the shooting.
