A man who witnessed the shooting at YouTube on Tuesday said he wished he had a gun when the shooting occurred.

“I didn't have a gun on me, but I wish I did,” he said.

He was ordering food across from the company's headquarters when the shooting started. When asked how many shots he heard, he said about 10 and then others.

“It didn't stop. It was no mercy. Whoever shot that time, oh, man. It was massive,” he said.

“I knew I had to be smart. You've got to be fast. You've got to think fast,” he added.

The shooter was reportedly a white woman wearing a headscarf. At least five people were reportedly injured.

Google, YouTube's parent company, tweeted it was “coordinating with authorities and will provide official information here from Google and YouTube as it becomes available.”

The witness said that the shooting happened at a party at the YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California.

But, being a law abiding citizen of calibfornia, he knew it was illegal for him to willy nilly carry a gun about. Kinda thinking the youtube HQ is probably a gun free zone anyway to prevent things like this from ................... Oh!

Always better to have a gun and not need it. The alternative will kill you.

Good luck with that! San Mateo County is RED when it comes to the issuance of CACCW permits. Take a look!

And your description is——————— LOL! But, I did just read something reporting she used a 9mm handgun. So, since no AR was involved, hogg will most likely NOT weigh in. Thank goodness.

Kinda what I meant. Even law abiding citizens probably would be unarmed there. Plus the link thing didn’t work. No image present. Thanks for the info.

We’re anxiously awaiting little piglet and company to weigh in on PETA.

“I knew I had to be smart. You’ve got to be fast. You’ve got to think fast,” he added.

Somehow, those words made me think Bonnie Tyler’s “I need a hero”:

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and I turn
And I dream of what I need

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ‘til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life!
Larger than life

Believe it is the CBS News host who interviewed the cast members of High School Musical: Gun Control.
