OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home was apparently targeted in a second attack early Sunday morning when a gunshot was fired from a vehicle, according to police reports.

The incident occurred just two days after a previous attack on Altman's residence. Police responded to reports of gunfire at the tech executive's home in the early hours of Sunday. Details remain limited, but authorities confirmed that a weapon was discharged from a car in what appears to be a deliberate targeting of the property. No immediate reports indicated injuries or the extent of property damage. The back-to-back incidents raise questions about security at Altman's residence and potential motives behind the attacks. Altman leads OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and has become a prominent figure in AI discussions. Investigations are ongoing. Police have not released information about suspects or a potential connection between the two incidents.
