Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, in a statement, reacted to today's shooting at YouTube headquarters in San Bruno, California, and called for "meaningful steps" to end gun violence.

"My stomach sinks with every active shooter alert, and my thoughts and prayers are with the victims and families of today’s shooting at YouTube headquarters. Only in America is a shooter unleashing gunfire in an office building a common occurrence. Only in America are people evacuating the scene of a shooting with their hands on their heads a familiar sight. We simply must take meaningful steps to stop these shootings and stem the tide of gun violence in our communities. We are a nation awash in guns. While we have just four percent of the world’s population, we have 42 percent of the world’s guns. Something must be done."
