Overview
- Daniel Moreno-Gama, 20, now faces state counts including attempted murder and arson plus federal explosives and unregistered firearm charges after prosecutors announced the cases Monday.
- Police say the suspect threw a Molotov cocktail at Altman’s San Francisco home early Friday, igniting the gate, then appeared at OpenAI’s headquarters about an hour later threatening to burn the building before officers arrested him; no one was hurt.
- FBI agents executed a court‑approved search Monday at Moreno-Gama’s home in Spring, Texas, as investigators detailed a document recovered at his arrest that denounced AI, named other industry figures with addresses, and claimed he killed or tried to kill his target.
- Two people were booked on negligent‑discharge charges after reported gunfire near Altman’s residence Sunday, and police seized three firearms; OpenAI told one outlet there was no indication the home was targeted, and no injuries were reported.
- Federal and local officials called the incidents planned and serious, and the U.S. attorney said the case could be treated as domestic terrorism if evidence shows an effort to coerce policy, while Altman urged calmer rhetoric in a personal post.
