David DePape Information

Word is still coming in on the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul Pelosi. We will update as we find out more:

.@SFPD identified the alleged attacker as 42-year-old David DePape. @CNN reached two of the man's relatives who told CNN he is estranged from his family. A review of his FB page shows he posted memes and conspiracy theories about Covid, the 2020 election, and the 1/6 attack.

A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation identified the suspect as David DePape, 42, possibly of Berkeley.

San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said when officers arrived before 3 a.m. Friday, they found an adult male and Paul Pelosi both holding a hammer. The assailant allegedly pulled the hammer from Pelosi and beat him with it, Scott said.

Depape was booked on suspicion of attempted homicide, assault with deadly weapon and elder abuse.
