Sam Altman was seemingly targeted by a second attack on Sunday morning, with two suspects arrested following a shooting at his Russian Hill residence, The San Francisco Standard reports. The suspects were arrested and charged with negligent discharge, according to a police report on the incident, citing surveillance footage that appears to show a vehicle passenger firing a weapon at Altman’s home.

This follows an earlier attack on Friday, in which a 20-year-old man was arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at the same property. The investigations for both incidents are still ongoing.

According to San Francisco Police, offers were dispatched to Russian Hill at approximately 2:56 AM PT on April 12th following “a suspicious occurrence of possible shots fired.” Two suspects were apprehended after officers learned that a vehicle with two occupants had passed the property “around the time of the possible shooting” – the license plate of the fleeing vehicle was captured by a camera. Three firearms were later located and seized after officers searched the residence where the suspects, aged 25 and 23, were arrested.

“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,” San Francisco Police Chief Derrick Lew said in a statement. “I want to thank our officers whose swift actions identified these suspects, took them into custody, and got dangerous weapons off our streets.”
