Dude it doesn't fit the narrative so it's immediately dropped. Similar to the shooting in Maryland. It's agenda based reporting. Similar to the shooting at CMU. Doesn't fit the narrative.

Police questioned the YouTube shooter hours before her attack

Police questioned the YouTube shooter hours before her attack. During a 20-minute interview, Nasim Aghdam told officers that she had been sleeping in her car because she had family problems. Officers did not think that Aghdam, 39, posed a threat to herself or others. Investigators said that the handgun with which she injured three people and took her own life was registered to her name, and that she visited a shooting range hours before the attack. Meanwhile, more details have emerged about Aghdam’s mental health and her motivations. Police said she attacked YouTube because she was upset that the videos she had posted on the platform were attracting fewer viewers than in the past. "Close-minded youtube employees ... began filtering my videos to reduce views & suppress & discaurage [sic] me from making videos!" she wrote on her website. Two of her victims have been released from the hospital, but a third one is in serious condition

Quite right.

Surprising to see that some info was released about her handgun, though the video will not be released.

San Bruno police say the woman who shot three people at YouTube's headquarters before turning the gun on herself legally purchased a pistol from a dealer in San Diego in January.

Commander Geoff Caldwell said he didn't know the total number of shots fired but said that Nasim Aghdam had swapped out a magazine and shot from the second magazine when she killed herself.

He said police found two magazines at the scene and found no other weapons.

He said the 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun was legally purchased Jan. 16 and registered in her name.
Thought maybe she had used an "assault revolver", though perhaps it was a single column 9MM.

If there were any red flags missed when she purchased the gun, you can bet your last dollar that the public will never be informed....

The last dirty little secret of assault weapons the gun grabbers haven't attacked yet: the speed loader.

Don’t forget the fact that a decent trained shooter can fire a revolver just as fast an auto pistol

Jerry still around? He’s awesome. But I’ve seen everyday guys with good training do pretty damn well with revolvers. The real thing that slows most people down is sight acquisition.....once you get past that.....and shoot combat style ....you can be very fast

The YouTube shooter apparently wasn't much of a shooter.

She wounded 3 people and killed herself while firing quite a few rounds.

Quote:
Under a California law designed to limit the possible carnage from shootings, Aghdam was limited to 10-round magazines. Caldwell said a second magazine was found at the scene, indicating she had squeezed the trigger numerous times.

“The suspect began firing the pistol until it was empty, dropped the magazine, reloaded a new magazine into it, continued firing and then turned the gun on herself,” Caldwell said.
Coming next to the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia, a ban on owning more than 1 magazine.

Too many farm boys living out on the lonesome prairie for that to happen in Nebraska.
