A doctor from the hospital that treated patients wounded during a shooting at YouTube’s headquarters in San Bruno, Calif., asked on Tuesday why medical staff are continually called to respond to gun-related tragedies.
“Once again we are confronted with the specter of [a] mass casualty situation here in the city and county of San Francisco, where we’ve now had three victims who have come in that we’ve taken care of,” Andre Campbell, a trauma surgeon at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, said at a press conference.
“This is unfortunate and it continues. You’d think that after we’ve seen Las Vegas, Parkland, the Pulse nightclub shooting, that we would see an end to this, but we have not,” he continued, referring to mass shootings across the U.S. over the past couple years.

Campbell declined to answer questions about the nature of the injuries, including whether they were inflicted with a semi-automatic weapon.
Brent Andrew, the hospital’s spokesman, told reporters Tuesday the center received three victims, a 32-year-old woman who is in serious condition, a 27-year-old woman in fair condition, and a 36-year-old man in critical condition.
Earlier, San Bruno Police Chief Ed Barberini said one person died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound during the incident.
The deceased, a woman, is believed to be the shooter, Barberini added.
