The incident may have also prompted a rethink among tech companies who've enjoyed a culture that's embraced open spaces, including cafes, restaurants and gift shops that are shared with the public. >While there have been a few incidents involving gun violence at a tech company, they are rare. Two years ago, an Apple engineer reportedly committed suicide by shooting himself in a conference room at the company's Cupertino, California headquarters. In 1988, a fired engineer at ESL Incorporated, a software design and hardware company, killed seven people and injured four at its offices in Sunnyvale, California.
