Police are on the scene of the headquarters of video-sharing website YouTube after a shooting in which the perpetrator is believed to have shot herself dead.

Police say that four others have been wounded in the incident at the headquarters, in the northern part of the U-S state of California.

A local hospital says it has received some of the victims.

A police spokesman says the situation is still somewhat fluid, but it's believed there was only one shooter.

"We did locate a victim with what we believe to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. It's a female. But the investigation is still ongoing before we can put all the pieces together. We are clearing the building and searching the building in a slow, methodical manner like we would do anyway. So, we haven't eliminated that possibility, but we have no information to suggest that there's sombody else in there that we're looking for." The spokesman said.
