Paul Pelosi attack 'was not a random act,’ say S.F. police
SF Chronicle ^ | Oct. 28, 2022 7:50 p.m | SF Chronicle

Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked with a hammer by a person who broke into the Pelosis' San Francisco home Friday morning.

San Francisco police identified the alleged assailant as David DePape, 42.

Pelosi was hospitalized and underwent successful surgery to repair a skull fracture. A spokesperson from Pelosi’s office said he is expected to recover. After being hospitalized early in the day, DePape was booked on suspicion of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, elder abuse and several other felony charges.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was seen leaving San Francisco General Hospital around 7:45 p.m., hours after she arrived to see her husband, who is recovering from surgery. Pelosi did not make any comments to the group of news media gathered outside the hospital. She was escorted by police and other security.

San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott praised the 911 dispatcher who was able to get officers out to the Pelosi residence within two minutes after Paul Pelosi called the emergency number during Friday morning’s hammer attack.

Scott said that the dispatcher could sense that something was off because Pelosi kept the phone line open as he interacted with the suspect, and she was able to prioritize a call — “a well-being check” — that would have otherwise been considered a low priority for SFPD.

“She knew there was more to it,” Scott said. “That led to a quicker response."

S.F. Police Chief Bill Scott said at a press conference that "this was not a random act." He would not disclose more details of how police knew that. "We are not at the point we can say what the motive was publicly. But we know it was intentional," he said.

I sincerely wish Mr Pelosi the best for a speedy recovery.

Still, the cynic in me wonders whether the assailant is a broker and this was a stock-options purchase gone bad.

But we know it was intentional, said Sherlock Holmes.

... with a sworn statement by the assailant that he was motivated and assisted by the Republicans.

Whew! I was afraid that it was a random attack. A non-random attack is much less worrisome.

I notice the perp wasn’t charged with breaking and entering. He was invited in. My guess is as a Grindr date.

A stock-options purchase gone bad. Is it a coincidence that this fight broke out the same day that Amazon stock tanked?

Dems are so desperate to spin this as a MAGA attack so it MUST be a sex or drug thing with Paul Pelosi and the guy.

Does David DePape have any prior offences?
If not how can he be held for long?

You are so mean. /s

No one deserves being hit by a hammer. There should be hammer control laws.

Hope the DUI victim heals well. And Nancy has security issues
