In the early morning of Friday local time, David Deppep broke into Nancy Pelosi 's home in San Francisco and carried out a "violent attack" on her husband with a hammer.
San Francisco police said that at 2:27 a.m. on the 28th, when police arrived at the scene, 42-year-old David Deppep was fighting with 82-year-old Paul Pelosi for a hammer. After the suspect grabbed the hammer, he attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer in front of the police. The police immediately stepped forward to subdue the suspect. Paul Pelosi and David Deppep were then taken to the hospital.
Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hamil said that Paul Pelosi had "successfully" undergone surgery to repair skull fracture and "severe damage" to his right arm and hands, and his doctor "expected him to recover completely."
Deppep was prosecuted for suspected attempted murder, attacking and abuse of the elderly with deadly weapons, and his motive for riots is to be investigated.

The San Francisco Chronicle and Politicians pointed out that the suspect is a member of a group of pro-nudists located opposite Berkeley Bay.
Nudeism is a cultural movement and a political movement that advocates and maintains nude social activities in private and public places.
A photo released by the San Francisco Chronicle shows that in 2013, Depape was dressed and presided over the wedding of other nude activists outside the city hall. According to Fox News, Deppep is closely linked to a radical nudist activist whose level of activity online is worrying.

California State Senator Scott Wiener said that Depape was one of the nude athletes who took to the streets in 2011 and 2012. He also had connections with a nudeist named Gypsy Taub in Berkeley .
Winner said, "Gypsy Tauber is the leader, she is extremely aggressive. I think Deppep is one of her companions at work."
On Twitter , Deppep sometimes appears as a nudist, sometimes as a far-right wing extremist.
According to CNN , Deppep forwarded a video on the video website, condemning the investigation into the attack on the US Capitol as a "farce".
According to the Politician, Deppep also publicly expressed his anger on social media at the government, mainstream media and corporate power, while warning that "tech giants and private industries" have become "so powerful that they can silence people alone."
FBI went to Deppep's residence on the afternoon of the incident and asked a young man there about his situation. The young man said Deppep hadn't been there for several years.
FBI agents later found out that Deppep had lived in Canada. Teresa DePape, wife of DePep's adoptive father Gene, told the San Francisco Chronicle that DePeppe left Canada about 20 years ago after graduating from high school and lost contact with the family.
"I never thought he was a violent person." She said, "I don't know why he was looking for someone to commit violence in someone else's house.”
Even if the authorities did not disclose the suspect’s motive for the crime, many Democrats have concluded that “toxic political rhetoric is behind the attack.”
