Up to Apple to decide, but what if the armed person was a guard working for Apple?
Then the world and the employees and contractors all need to know that. Send them home for the rest of the week fully paid. There is $250B post-tax to draw upon.
Sorry, what? I did read what you wrote, but I cannot make sense of it.
11:42 PM PST -- A Sheriff spokesperson says the person found dead was a Hispanic male who worked at Apple ... there was no one else involved. It's still unclear why officers said there was a female with a head wound in the dispatch audio.

Could have been someone that tried to render aid and got covered in blood (hands) and transferred it to their head. They may have been distraught and crying from witnessing what happened which may have been mistaken for arguing. A witness seeing blood on someone being escorted out by security can jump to all kinds of conclusions,
Woe is Tim Cook. FBI battle Down quarter*** Likely suicide
***Apple had a stupendous quarter (80% YOY) a year ago, due to the new large screen iPhone 6 models. If Apple had instead reported excellent 27% YOY gains both a year ago and this quarter, they would be in the same place as they are today. IOW: Yesterday's report is not that big of a deal.
So another difference distancing rivals Google and Apple then...
At Google, they have foosball, free food, and fun when not working.
At Apple, they have Chinese factory suicide nets, and now murders inside US offices.
I can't wait to see how the RDF spins this one.
ACTUALLY the Foxconn suicides were at the Acer factory NOT the Apple factory.
Given my dealings with Acer I'd rather jump off a building than have anything to do with Acer as well.
In fact what are the working conditions at the Chinese plants that make the Nexus devices? I'm pretty confident that they are not the same playgrounds that are at the Google/Alphabet/Kindergarten (or whatever the hell they call themselves these days) offices.

hello. dear troll. I just wanted to point out that the Foxconn facility from the suicide nets story made devices for other companies as well, probably including devices running google's android. and that the suicide rate at it was less than the national average.
Clearly this is very distressing for all involved - family, friends, and co-workers of the deceased. It's only going to be made more distressing by the scrutiny it's going to get because it happened at Apple.
This sounds like an accident to me and I am ready to pinky swear to same with no crossed fingers or backsies.....But maybe Apple should stop asking for the technology that was able to crack the iphone encryption.
@MajorVariola I agree with your assumption. What else could it be? The start of an Alien invasion or something? Surely they wouldn't try to cover THAT up.
Isn't it amazing how stuff like this brings the nut jobs out of the woodwork? Remember that scene in King Kong where Adrian Brody wakes up in the ravine and the giant insects start oozing out of the rocks? Yeah, like that.
Time traveler from the future who resembled Steve Jobs is responsible for the death of this female. She died from a gunshot but there was no bullet or shell to be found. There was a rumor before Steve Jobs died that he successfully uploaded himself to the iCloud.
Not to be glib — and probably unrelated to this event — but everyone I’ve met who works there just hated the offices (which date to the eighties) and the corporate culture. Not unlike the movie Office Space.
I suspect that the $5 billion “UFO” campus has less to do with running out of space than attempting to reinvent the actual company as a place people would be happy to show up to work at.

That's the exact opposite of what I got from anybody who worked there. The culture was enjoyable if a bit hectic. And the offices were fine - everybody got their own office space unlike modern open plan. Not that the spaceship is open plan. I hope.
Why would the emergency services be waved off? That sounds a bit odd.
Emergency services are waved off when the person is already confirmed dead on arrival by another source, in this case, the sheriff department who was on scene first. The coroner's office would then be called.
Has nobody ever died at Apple before?, because I've been reading this site for many years and this is the first time that I can recall seeing such a headline about somebody dying. "Dead body found at" sounds like it's out of a Agatha Christie novel or something.

EMT here - Medical services are not called when the person in question is obviously deceased. This includes, but is not limited to: rigor mortis, obvious decomposition, cold body temperature in a warm environment, and decapitation - which would be both simultaneously awesome and horrible (probably the quarterly forecaster if this is the case).
According to the sheriff's dispatch call there was a female employee involved in an argument on the campus, and had sustained a head wound -- possibly from a gun -- before Apple security escorted her out of the building.
As deputies were responding, they were unclear if there were multiple people involved. One portion of the dispatch exchange describes a body being found in a conference room, and that person had a gun.
So did the body have the gun in his hand, in his desk, drawer on his body? Was the man shot? Was it a suicide? Was their blood from the man on the floor where he was found?
Details are vague in this article.
These questions are easily answered by the police and or any persons on the grounds and are aloud to be discussed if asked as long as proper names are not given out until such persons related are contacted. Since their are many updates you still cannot find the answers to what or how this person died?
Always the same with articles on the internet. Never knowing how to ask the right questions.

Uh Oh.
