Shooter was wearing body armor.

The building is being evacuated. There have been no confirmed reports of injuries or fatalities, but workers who were in the building described a chaotic scene as people scrambled away from a gunman wearing body armor.

Salahoden Abdul-Kafi, a YouTube product manager wrote on Facebook. “I was in the courtyard and we heard the gunshots then saw him. He had a shooting mask on, full body armor and was calmly walking and firing a handgun. We jumped to the floor then ran as fast as we could. I'm on my way home now.”

Abdul-Kafi said he was OK “but I don't know about a lot of coworkers.”

Todd Sherman, who identified himself as a YouTube product manager on his Twitter page, said he was sitting in a meeting and then heard that people were running. “First thought was earthquake.”

but if she was wearing body armor maybe her gender was not immediately apparent and assumed to be male because they usually are.
