Police found tape, rope, zip ties and another hammer after restraining Paul Pelosi's attacker, David DePape. Prosecutors said he wanted to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage and break her kneecaps.
David DePape
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins followed the federal announcement, unveiling charges of attempted murder, elderly abuse, threats to a public official and other local charges. When Pelosi told him the speaker was not at home, the suspect allegedly removed the zip ties, stating that he intended to restrain Pelosi so that DePape"could go to sleep" because he was tired from carrying the backpack to the home.
Police ordered DePape to drop the hammer, but the suspect told police that he"did not plan to surrender" and then struck Pelosi. On the day of the Pelosi assault, federal authorities issued the government’s strongest warning yet of the “heightened threat” to the midterm elections posed by violent extremists.
