OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has allegedly been targeted in an attack on his home. But, according to the New York Post, this is the second attack in two days.
Local outlets reported that a Honda car pulled up to the OpenAI CEO's $27 million mansion in Russian Hill, San Fransisco. When it pulled up, a shot was allegedly fired before it fled the scene. The incident occurred on Monday, April 13.
Luckily, a security guard heard the shot. Upon looking at the surveillance footage, the car's license plate was identified. And then the police found an address, and swarmed it.
Amanda Tom and Muhamad Tarik Hussein were both arrested at the property. Tom, 25, owned the car. 3 guns were apparently seized at the property.
San Francisco police chief Derrick Lew explained that these were serious crimes. "The SFPD takes crimes involving guns extremely seriously, and anyone committing acts like these will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
He also thanked the officers involved for their "swift actions" helping to get "dangerous weapons off our streets."
Neither Altman nor OpenAI have responded to the alleged attack. However, we know that there were no injuries.

There Was Another Attack on the OpenAI CEO's Home on Friday
But, another attack happened on Friday, April 10. As reported by the BBC, a man allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the OpenAI CEO's home.
20-year-old Daniel Moreno-Gama was later arrested for the alleged attack. He has now been charged with two state counts of attempted murder. He is also facing federal charges.
His federal charges include possession of an unregistered firearm, and attempted damage and destruction of property using explosives. These combined charges carry a pretty hefty sentence if he is convicted.
Moreno-Gama was found to have produced several Substack publications. These were heavily against AI, and called for the deaths of AI execs and investors alike.
OpenAI have pushed back against Moreno-Gama's alleged crimes. They said in a statement that "there is no place in our democracy for violence against anyone, regardless of the AI lab they work at or the side of the debate they belong to."
