Speaker Nancy Pelosi was the intended target for the intruder who beat her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer early Friday in their San Francisco home, a person familiar with the investigation said.

The assailant, who is in custody, confronted Paul Pelosi and shouted “Where is Nancy, where is Nancy?” before attacking him, the person said.

The attempted attack on the speaker, the second in line to the presidency, highlights increased concern among lawmakers over risks to their safety in a bitterly contentious political environment.

Speaker Pelosi, a Democrat, was in Washington with her protective detail at the time of the attack, the Capitol Police and San Francisco Police Department said in a joint statement. The intruder is in custody and the FBI is leading the investigation into the motive.

Paul Pelosi, 82, was severely beaten on the head and body with a hammer and was being treated for blunt force trauma, the Associated Press reported. A person familiar with the investigation confirmed the intruder was armed with a hammer at the time. Speaker Pelosi’s office said her husband is expected to recover from his injuries.

Why did the police respond. Don’t they want to demolish police. The police should not have responded at all.
