YouTube shooter ID’d as woman with apparent vendetta against company. Politicians call for gun control in three...two...one...

Update: This Incident Shows How Heeding Warning Signs of a School Shooter Works Better Than Gun Control  "All of the glaring red flags surrounding the Parkland shooter were ignored.
"Authorities failed to connect the dots through years of bad behavior, incidents on and off campus, as well as reports from concerned citizens that the shooter was displaying worrisome behavior." . . .
"[YouTube] stopped everything and now she has no income."
- Ismail Aghdam, father of shooting suspect Nasim Aghdam


Fox News  "The woman suspected of shooting three people at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, Calif. before killing herself was furious with the company because it had stopped paying her for videos she posted on the platform, her father said late Tuesday.

"The police identified the shooter as Nasim Aghdam, 39, of Southern California -- and said they had a run-in with her earlier in the day.

"Ismail Aghdam said he reported his daughter missing on Monday after she did not answer her phone for two days. He said the family received a call from Mountain View police around 2 a.m. Tuesday saying they found Nasim sleeping in a car.

"He said he warned them she might be headed to YouTube because she "hated" the company.

"Mountain View Police spokeswoman Katie Nelson confirmed officers located a woman by the same name asleep in a vehicle asleep in a Mountain View parking lot Tuesday morning." . . .

YouTube shooter's father says daughter 'hated' the company, warned Mountain View police about her issues
"Suspected YouTube shooter Nasim Aghdam drove more than 500 miles from San Diego to reach the tech giant’s San Bruno, Calif., headquarters because “she was angry,” according to her father." . . .
"The four victims in the shooting were not immediately identified." . . .

"San Bruno investigators initially believed the shooting was motivated by a domestic dispute but later said there was no evidence to suggest she knew the victims or targeted them.". . .
[Her father] said the site “stopped everything,” preventing Aghdam from making money off dozens of videos about vegan cooking tips, animal rights activism and music videos in foreign languages.
She spoke some in Farsi, a Persian language spoken in Iran. Her family moved to the US from Iran in 1996.
