The assailant who violently assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer on early Friday morning was looking for the speaker herself when he broke into their San Francisco home, shouting 'Where is Nancy? Where's Nancy?'
Speaker Pelosi was in Washington D.C. when Paul Pelosi, 82, was brutally attacked. He was taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and is undergoing brain surgery, NBC News reported. The speaker's office said he is expected to recover.
San Francisco Police Department identified the suspect as 42-year-old David Depape. He will be booked at San Francisco county jail several charges, including-attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, and several other additional felonies.
Depape entered the Pelosi residence through a sliding glass door at the back of the house. Aerial footage showed broken panes of smashed glass at a door to their home.
His target was Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Instead, Depape found her husband of 59 years.
He confronted Paul Pelosi, yelling: 'Where is Nancy? Where is Nancy?.' Depape tried to tie up Paul Pelosi 'until Nancy got home.' When police arrived, the suspect told them: 'We're waiting for Nancy,' CNN reported.
San Francisco Police Chief William Scott indicated there was some type of confrontation between the two men involving a hammer. But it was unclear who the hammer belonged to - if Depape brought it with him or if Paul Pelosi had it for defensive reasons.
Scott said when his officers entered the home, they 'observed Mr. Pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. The suspect pulled the hammer away from Mr. Pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. Our officers immediately tackled the suspect, disarmed him, took him into custody, requested emergency backup and rendered medical aid.'

The timing of this event is....suspicious.
Awwww
He could have owned a .45ACP, but his wife would not have allowed it.
This story is strange. Let’s get more facts and video.
I call for David Depape’s release, just a misunderstanding..
This whole thing stinks like a Castro nudist hemp jewelry maker from Berkeley.
Oh, the FBI is investigating.
Trick or treat?
It is that time of year.
Perp supposedly went through sliding door, both had hammers, but the perp didnt attack him til the cops were in the room yeah this is totally weird
“I call for David Depape’s release, just a misunderstanding..”
EXACTLY. If he had attacked some random Asian or pushed someone in front of a BART train he would have been released already.
I can’t see how “the timing is suspicious”. Paul is universally unliked I would think. I guess the media may photoshop a MAGA hat on the guy?
Think Nancy was trying to tie up loose ends before Nov.? Tired of always finding the decanter empty when she really wanted to be the one to empty it?
Anybody seen Peter Strzok in the area?
WONDER IF THEY STILL WANT TO DEFUND THE PO-LICE?................
A homeless guy who liked to get naked in the Castro district might indicate a homosexual prostitute.
He may have been yelling “Where’s Nancy?” because he was going to blackmail Paul over a homosexual meeting.
Private security can be paid for out of campaign funds. Pelosi should have had more security at her home.
Wellstone funeral to follow.
Kinda at odds with what the SFPD reported at their press conference which included the statements from the officers at the scene and the dispatcher.
