Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi was violently attacked with a hammer in his San Francisco home early Friday morning.
According to NBC News, Paul Pelosi was taken to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital where he underwent brain surgery.
Mr. Pelosi is reportedly in stable condition.
Both men were hospitalized.
The attack reportedly took place after 2:25 AM.
And David DePape was in his underwear when the police arrived.
The San Francisco police thus far have released few details on the incident. And the details they have reported have had to be corrected.
We know now there was only one hammer, not two.
We know now the dispatch officer said “David” was a friend.
During the second press conference Chief Scott provided new information on the Pelosi home attack.
** According to Chief Scott, the police officers arrived at the front door of the Pelosi home. The door was opened “by someone inside.”
** When the front door was opened the police witnessed Paul Pelosi and Depape fighting over a hammer. DePape took control of the hammer and allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi. DePape hit Pelosi “at least one time” in the head. The police tackled the assailant.
** According to Chief Scott, David DePape forced himself into the rear door.
** David DePape is still in the hospital.
** This was not a random act. “This was intentional.”
We know the police said someone opened the front door.
Why was glass broken from the inside out on the back porch?
We do not know if David DePape entered the home in his underwear – BUT IT IS UNLIKELY.
We do not know if 82-year-old Paul Pelosi has a caretaker in the home. If not, why?
We know DePape is homeless and a drug addict from Berkeley.
We do not know anything about David DePape’s motives.
The fact that police have not released many details is very suspect.
It is imperative that David DePape make it through to trial so he can tell his side of the story.
What really happened at the Pelosi home?
