I see, early reports seemed to indicate the shooter was at a party, possibly inside. Really sad when employees in the bay area, which is generally very safe, have to fear for their lives because of something their employer may have done to piss someone off.

This incident was enough of an outlier that probably the correct thing to do is nothing, although that's really hard for people to accept. I'd just recommend improved first aid/trauma response (put AEDs around, train people to CLS standard).

  As sad as this is, dying in a car crash is more likely.

It would be if that were true, but it isn’t. Even if there were an order of magnitude more attacks along these lines it would not warrant anyone having to fear for their life as they would still be exceedingly rare.

  But some people do fear for their life, because this kind of shit has happened to them before.

    And, so, you're proposing a civilized society where such a thing should be accounted for, and every specific, nuanced experience should be catered to, no matter how personal?

      I'm proposing a civilized society whereby people cease invalidating others feelings and prior experiences.

Well, perhaps they should consider the morality of their employers' actions then. If everyone who considered working at Alphabet/Google/YouTube lived by 'Don't Be Evil', either the company would have less employees or they wouldn't inspire such rage and pain. EDIT: You know, I do find it interesting that every time I use the original Google slogan in a post, I get downvoted. Why do people not want to remember how much they have changed?
