"Early Sunday morning, a car stopped and appears to have fired a gun at the Russian Hill home of OpenAI's CEO," [1]reports The San Francisco Standard , citing reports from the local police department:
> The San Francisco Police Department [2]announced the arrest of two suspects, Amanda Tom, 25, and Muhamad Tarik Hussein, 23, who were booked for negligent discharge... [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 a police report on the incident, which cited surveillance footage and the compound's security personnel, who reported hearing a gunshot. The car then fled, and a camera captured its license plate, which later led police to take possession of the vehicle, according to the report... A search of the residence by officers turned up three firearms, according to police.
The incident follows Friday's arrest of a man who [3]allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at Altman's house . The San Francisco Standard also [4]notes that in November, "threats from a 27-year-old anti-AI activist prompted [5]the lockdown of OpenAI's San Francisco offices ."
> Sam Kirchner, whose whereabouts have been unknown since Nov. 21, was in the midst of a mental health crisis when he threatened to go to the company's offices to "murder people," according to callers who notified police that day.
