OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s home appears to have been the target of a second attack Sunday morning, two days after a 20-year-old man allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the property, The Standard has learned.
The San Francisco Police Department announced (opens in new tab) the arrests of Amanda Tom, 25, and Muhamad Tarik Hussein, 23, who were booked for negligent discharge of a firearm.
Neither OpenAI nor the SFPD responded to requests for comment.
According to an initial police report, Sunday at 1:40 a.m., a Honda sedan with two people inside stopped in front of Altman’s property, which stretches from Chestnut Street to Lombard Street, after passing it a few minutes before.
The person in the passenger seat put their hand out the window and appeared to fire a round on the Lombard side of the property, according to the police report, which cited surveillance footage and the compound’s security personnel, who reported hearing a gunshot.
The motorists fled, and a camera captured the car’s license plate, which led police to take possession of the vehicle, according to the report.
Officers responded to the 2000 block of Taylor Street and detained Tom and Hussein without incident. A search of the residence by officers turned up three firearms, according to police.
The alleged attack could add to heightened fears voiced earlier in the weekend by Altman, who wrote after Friday’s Molotov cocktail incident: “The fear and anxiety about AI is justified. We are in the process of witnessing the largest change to society in a long time, and perhaps ever.”
The initial attack on the Altman home happened Friday morning when a Texas man named Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama allegedly targeted the property from the north on Chestnut.
Around 3:40 a.m., Moreno-Gama allegedly threw a bottle containing a flaming rag at the metal gate of the property, according to a police report.
Security guards at the property extinguished the fire, and the incident was captured on surveillance cameras. The Standard has obtained the photo and blurred the suspect’s face until conclusive identification can be made.
Shortly afterward, security personnel at OpenAI’s headquarters in Mission Bay made contact with a person matching the suspect’s description, according to the company. The individual made threatening statements about the building and was taken into custody by police.
No injuries were reported in either incident.
Moreno-Gama was booked Friday afternoon into San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder, arson, possession or manufacture of an incendiary device, and other charges.
