In first statement, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi talks of being 'heartbroken and traumatized' and thanks first responders and well-wishers.
Suspect David DePape has been booked on suspicion of attempted murder and other counts. The assault on Paul Pelosi raises concerns as attacks on public officials rise.“Yesterday morning, a violent man broke into our family home, demanded to confront me and brutally attacked my husband, Paul,” Pelosi said.“Please know that the outpouring of prayers and warm wishes from so many in the Congress is a comfort to our family and is helping Paul make progress with his recovery,” she said.
At a news conference Friday, San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott praised Grimes’ quick thinking, given that Pelosi was unable to describe the gravity of the situation because the intruder was close at hand. More details are emerging about the hammer attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, in San Francisco.
After officers ordered both men to drop the hammer, the attacker “immediately” pulled the tool from Pelosi and “violently attacked him with the hammer,” Scott said.
