Sam Altman’s home targeted in second attack
A vehicle fired a round at the OpenAI CEO's property in the early morning, captured on surveillance.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was the target of a second apparent attack at his San Francisco residence in the early hours of the morning. According to an initial San Francisco Police Department report, a Honda sedan with two people inside stopped in front of Altman's property, which spans from Chestnut Street to Lombard Street, at approximately 1:40 a.m. The vehicle had passed the home minutes prior before returning.
Surveillance footage and security personnel detail the incident: the passenger reached a hand out the window and appeared to fire a round on the Lombard Street side of the property. Security on-site reported hearing what they believed was a gunshot. The car then fled the scene. The surveillance camera captured the vehicle's license plate, information that later enabled police to locate and take possession of the Honda sedan as part of their investigation.
