The man who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer has been named as David Depape by the San Francisco Police Department.

The 42-year-old is believed to have entered Pelosi’s home through its rear and shouted “Where’s Nancy?” looking for the Democratic speaker of the House, who was in Washington, DC, at the time.

San Francisco Police Chief William “Bill” Scott said at a press conference officers were dispatched to the Pelosi residence at 2:27 a.m. Friday regarding a well-being check.

He said they encountered the suspect and Paul, who both appeared to be holding a hammer.

The suspect then “pulled the hammer away from Paul and violently attacked him with it,” Scott said.

According to the NY Post, Pelosi and Depape were both taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and NBC reported Pelosi was undergoing brain surgery.

Scott also said Depape has been booked on charges of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, burglary, and “several other additional felonies.”

Pictures of the Pelosi residence showed an open window a the back of the house with smashed panes, indicating that was how the intruder gained entry to the residence.

Locals news station KRON talked to a neighbor who said the Pelosis have “tons of security” when Nancy is in town, but much less when she is away.

Two of DePape’s relatives told CNN that DePape is estranged from his family, and confirmed that the Facebook account – which was taken down by the social media company on Friday – belonged to him.

His stepfather, Gene DePape, said David DePape grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, and left Canada about 20 years ago to pursue a relationship that brought him to California.

Various news sites published that Depape had posted conspiracy theories on Facebook and YouTube falsely claiming COVID vaccines were deadly and the 2020 election was stolen.
