Paul Pelosi Case: Police reveal new details of violent assault, here’s what they said

San Francisco Police called the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of US Speaker Nancy Pelosi, 'intentional.'

They added that the intruder accused of breaking into the Pelosi home and hitting Paul Pelosi with a hammer particularly targeted the California Democrat. The 42-year-old attacker before attacking Paul asked, 'Where is Nancy?'

The intruder, David DePape, entered the home through the back entrance. Police Officers reached the house, knocked on the front door, and were led inside by an unknown person.


DePape and Pelosi were struggling for a hammer, and after the officers ordered them to drop the weapon, DePape took the hammer and violently attacked Paul Pelosi.

DePape, a Berkeley resident, is now in police custody and is booked for burglary, attempted homicide, assault with a weapon, elder abuse, threatening a family member of an official, dissuading a victim, and damaging a communication channel for emergency calls.

Paul Pelosi has surgery for fractures on his skull and arms. He is recovering from the injury.

San Francisco is shocked by the emerging image of a politically powered attack and is concerned about public elected officials facing violence.

DePape's digital history reveals that he believed that the 2020 elections were illegitimate and expressed anti-Semitic opinions and seemed to support the QAnon movement.

Officer Scott expressed gratitude to emergency dispatcher Heather Grieves for suspecting something wrong and reaching out to the police officials for immediate action.

According to the reports, Pelosi dialled 911 from the restroom where his phone was charging.
