Apple shuttles aren't the only tech buses under attack.

Google buses000 Archives which carry employees of the tech giant to and from its Mountain View headquarters, are in the spotlight today following an attack on one of the company's chartered shuttles.

California Highway Patrol officer Art Montiel confirmed to Mashable that, in addition to four Apple buses, a shuttle bus chartered by Google was hit in some sort of attack that took place on Highway 280 outside of San Francisco. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported.

The incident went down on Tuesday. Much like with the attack on the Apple buses, which suffered broken windows, it is not clear what exactly was used by the perpetrator. Regardless, whether it was rocks, "rubber rounds" (as speculated by one Apple employee), or something else entirely, there is clearly real danger involved in breaking the windows of a bus while it's full of passengers and driving on the highway.

Doug Bloch, the political director of the Teamsters Joint Council 7, told the San Francisco Examiner that he thinks a pellet gun is responsible.

“It was pellet guns,” Bloch explained to the paper. “A couple [of the buses] were driven by Teamsters who were understandably scared, but no one got hurt.”

Mashable has been unable to verify that claim, and CHP says it is investigating the matter.

Meanwhile, Google alerted its shuttle-riding employees in an email sent out Wednesday.

"[We're] taking the precaution of re-routing shuttles as we hear of any incidents," reads the message in part.

We reached out to Google for comment, and will update this if we hear back.
