REUTERS/Kylie Cooper/File Photo(REUTERS)OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s home in San Francisco, USA, was reportedly targeted again within two days. According to reports, two individuals in a car allegedly fired shots outside his residence. The San Francisco Police Department has arrested the two suspects.
Police have arrested two suspects in connection with a shooting in San Francisco’s Russian Hill area earlier today, and officers also recovered three firearms during the investigation.
Who were the culprits?
Police say Amanda Tom (25) and Muhamad Tarik Hussein (23) were arrested by the San Francisco Police Department in connection with the incident near Sam Altman’s property.
They were detained without incident at a residence on the 2000 block of Taylor Street, where officers also reportedly recovered three firearms during a search. According to the police report, both suspects were booked on charges related to negligent discharge of a firearm.
“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,” said Chief Derrick Lew. “I want to thank our officers whose swift actions identified these suspects, took them into custody, and got dangerous weapons off our streets.”
This is the second reported attack on Altman’s home. Two days earlier, a 20-year-old man identified as Daniel Alejandro Moreno-Gama allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at the metal gate of his residence. After that incident, Sam Altman said he did not want his family to be targeted and shared a photo of his husband and son in a blog post.
“Early this morning, someone threw a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s home and also made threats at our San Francisco headquarters, as reported by Bloomberg. Thankfully, no one was hurt,” OpenAI spokesperson Jamie Radice said. “The individual is in custody, and we’re assisting law enforcement with their investigation.”
Altman’s home, which was targeted, is reportedly a luxury mansion in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighbourhood valued at around $27 million. Reports say the property features amenities such as a wellness centre, an infinity pool, and an underground garage equipped with a car turntable.
OpenAI, which is reportedly preparing for a large IPO, has recently faced protests outside its San Francisco offices after announcing a March deal with the U.S. Department of Defense. Separately, other groups have also demonstrated against the company, raising concerns about the fast pace of AI development, potential job losses, and environmental impacts.
