FBI investigating vehicle ramming at its Pittsburgh office as | |
‘targeted attack’ against the bureau | |

The FBI has taken into custody a man they said rammed a gate with a | |
vehicle at the Pittsburgh field office early Wednesday morning, an | |
incident which they described as a “targeted attack” against the | |
bureau. | |
At about 2:40 a.m., a man driving a white sedan rammed a vehicle | |
entrance gate at the FBI Pittsburgh office before exiting his car, | |
removing an American flag from the backseat and throwing it on the | |
damaged gate. | |
The man, who the FBI identified as Donald Henson of Penn Hills, | |
Pennsylvania, then fled on foot and remained at large early Wednesday | |
morning. The FBI later confirmed to CNN that a person is in custody. | |
“This incident is considered a targeted attack against the FBI,” | |
the bureau said in a statement posted to social media. “No FBI | |
personnel were injured.” | |
During a Wednesday morning, FBI Pittsburgh Assistant Special Agent in | |
Charge Christopher Giordano said the agency was looking at the incident | |
as an “an act of terror against the FBI.” | |
An FBI spokesperson later walked that statement back, telling CNN the | |
bureau did not consider the incident to be an act of terrorism. | |
Giordano added at the press conference that they did not believe the | |
suspect was armed. | |
The man had come to the field office a few weeks prior to make a | |
“complaint that didn’t make a whole lot of sense,” Giordano said, | |
and they told the man that there was no federal crime that they could | |
charge. | |
