The San Francisco home of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was targeted in a shooting incident early Sunday morning, marking the second attack on the property in recent months, according to local police.
Officers responding to the scene in the Russian Hill neighborhood found evidence that a vehicle had stopped outside Altman's residence before someone inside the car apparently fired a weapon at the home. No injuries were reported.
San Francisco Police Department confirmed they are actively investigating the incident and are reviewing surveillance footage from the area in an effort to identify the vehicle and any suspects involved.
