WASHINGTON (AP) — The suspect who attacked Paul Pelosi, the House speaker’s husband, specifically targeted their San Francisco home, people familiar with the matter said Friday.
The intruder shouted ‘Where is Nancy?’ one person familiar with the situation said, a chilling echo of chants during the U.S. Capitol insurrection. Police said Paul Pelosi was severely beaten by an assailant with a hammer after wrestling it away him.
Paul Pelosi, 82, suffered blunt force injuries to his head and body, according to authorities. He was being treated by doctors for bruising, severe swelling and other injuries.
Pelosi’s spokesman Drew Hammill said he was expected to recover.
