Report: Paul Pelosi Assault Suspect May Have Been Planning Additional Attacks

The man alleged to have broken into House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and assaulted her husband was potentially planning to stage similar attacks targeting others, sources claim in a new report.

Monday, CBS News cited police sources as stating that the suspect in question, David Wayne DePape, had a list of potential future targets. According to these same sources, DePape “may have been planning” further attacks targeting other unnamed individuals, although additional details were not disclosed.

The report follows separate updates from the Associated Press and CNN, both of which cited close-to-the-investigation sources over the weekend as stating that DePape had been carrying zip ties with him at the time of the break-in and subsequent attack. As readers will note, zip ties were also carried by some of the individuals involved in the fatal Capitol riot in January of last year.

The United States Capitol Police (USCP) the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) shared a joint statement on Friday confirming each agency’s involvement in the ensuing investigation into the break-in and assault.

Per police, the House Speaker was in D.C. at the time of the attack. As previously reported, her husband, Paul Pelosi, is alleged to have been attacked with a hammer by DePape. He later underwent surgery to fix a skull fracture as well as “serious injuries” to his arms and hands.

Complex has reached out to USCP and SFPD reps for additional comment on the latest developments. This story may be updated.
