Two arrested after gunfire near Sam Altman's home, days after Molotov attack

This article was published on April 13, 2026 Two people were arrested after shots were fired near Sam Altman’s San Francisco home on Sunday, two days after a separate suspect threw a Molotov cocktail at the property and threatened to burn down OpenAI’s headquarters. The attacks coincided with a critical New Yorker profile of the OpenAI CEO, who responded with a blog post calling for de-escalation of anti-AI rhetoric. Two people have been arrested after a gun was discharged near Sam Altman’s San Francisco home early on Sunday morning, the second security incident at the OpenAI chief executive’s Russian Hill property in three days. The San Francisco Police Department confirmed the arrests of Amanda Tom, 25, and Muhamad Tarik Hussein, 23, both booked on charges of negligent discharge of a firearm. Officers responding to reports of gunfire at around 1:40am on Sunday traced a vehicle to a nearby address, where Tom and Hussein were detained without incident. Three firearms were seized from the property. According to the SF Standard, a Honda sedan with two occupants stopped in front of Altman’s compound and the passenger appeared to fire a round on the Lombard Street side of the property.
