OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, was targeted in an apparent drive-by shooting outside his San Francisco home two days after a Molotov cocktail was thrown at his home. Amanda Tom, and Muhamad Tarik Hussein, were arrested on charges related to negligent discharge of a firearm. The incident occurred around 1:40 a.m. on April 12, when a shot was fired from a Honda sedan outside Altman’s Russian Hill residence. No injuries were reported.
