San Francisco police arrested two people after a car allegedly fired a shot outside Sam Altman’s Russian Hill home early Sunday.

Officers later served a search warrant there and said they seized three firearms. (abcnews.com) The shooting report came around 3 a.m. Sunday, and local reporting said a Honda sedan passed the property as a passenger fired a single round. The house sits in Russian Hill and spans the block between Chestnut Street and Lombard Street, according to local reporting. (sfist.com) This was the second attack tied to the property in two days. On Friday, police said a 20-year-old man threw an incendiary device at the house, sparking a fire on an exterior gate before fleeing on foot. (abcnews.com) Police said officers then responded about an hour later to OpenAI’s headquarters, where a man was allegedly threatening to burn down a building, and arrested the same suspect. The San Francisco Standard identified that suspect as Daniel Moreno-Gama, 20. (abcnews.com, (sfstandard.com)) No injuries were reported in either incident, and investigators said they are still trying to determine motive in the Sunday shooting. ABC News reported investigators were examining whether the violence was tied to mental health, a disgruntled current or former employee, or domestic terrorism. (abcnews.com) OpenAI said after the Friday attack that the situation was under control and there was no immediate threat to its offices. The company said it appreciated how quickly San Francisco police responded and the city’s support in keeping employees safe. (abcnews.com) As of Sunday night, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office told ABC News it could take until next week to decide whether the first case would be handled locally or federally and whether charges would be filed. The latest arrests leave police investigating two separate attacks on the same home over one weekend. (abcnews.com)
