SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — In the middle of the night, a man broke into the San Francisco home belonging to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and attacked her husband, Paul, with a hammer. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old David DePape, was arrested. The case resulted in multiple charges on both a state and federal level and a closer look at security for American politicians and their families.

Here is a timeline of the events that began with the attack on Oct. 28, 2022.

Nancy Pelosi mentions the attack on her husband Paul as she announces that she will not seek a new leadership role among Democrats in Congress. In her speech, Nancy Pelosi said, “For my dear husband Paul, who’s been my beloved partner in life and my pillar of support, thank you. We’re all grateful for all the prayers and well wishes as he continues his recovery. Thank you you so much.” Her comments were met with applause from the people gathered in the chamber. They stood and clapped for nearly a minute. Bay Area Representative Zoe Lofgren, seated in the front row, could be seen wiping her eyes.

David DePape pleads not guilty to the two federal charges against him, attempted kidnapping and assault. He was brought into the federal courtroom guarded by five US Marshals and two San Francisco Sheriff Officers. His federal court appointed attorney is Angela Chuang. His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 30.

Nov 9, 2022

A federal indictment is handed up by a federal grand jury against David DePape. He is charged with attempted kidnapping as well as assault. Combined, the two charges carry a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison. The indictment reveals that the encounter between Pelosi, DePape, and police at the front door of the home, when Pelosi was struck with the hammer, unfolded within 15 seconds. The indictment says that DePape planned to use Speaker Pelosi to lure another individual he had targeted. Electronic evidence seized at DePape’s Richmond home shows that he had researched an address for that target, but the indictment did not identify the target by name. An additional target is also mentioned, but not named.

Nov 4, 2022

A preliminary hearing date for suspect David DePape is set for Dec. 14 on the state charges leveled against him.

For the first time, Nancy Pelosi speaks about the attack on her husband, in a video update posted to her Team Pelosi YouTube page. “Thank you, thank you, thank you for your kind words, your prayers and your good wishes for Paul,” the speaker says. “It’s going to be a long haul, but he will be well. And it’s so tragic how it happened. But, nonetheless, we have to be optimistic. He’s surrounded by family, so that’s a wonderful thing.”

Nov 3, 2022

Six days after the attack, Paul Pelosi is released from Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. He underwent surgery for a fractured skull, received treatment for injuries to his right arm as well as both hands, and is expected to recover. A statement from Nancy Pelosi says, “Paul remains under doctors’ care as he continues to progress on a long recovery process and convalescence. He is now home surrounded by his family who request privacy.”

Immigration officials say the suspect, David DePape, is in the US illegally and has overstayed a visa from Canada. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer against DePape. The detainer is unlikely to have an immediate impact since deportations often happen after criminal cases are resolved.

Nov 2, 2022

US Capitol Police had cameras outside of the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, but they were not monitored, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. According to the sources, Capitol Police saw the flash of police lights on the camera, rewound the video, and saw the break-in.

Former neighbors of David DePape in the city of Richmond talk about the man they knew. They say he often worked as a handyman and describe him as quiet.

Nov 1, 2022

David DePape makes his first court appearance in this case in order to plead not guilty to six charges against him. This case is heard in a San Francisco courtroom and concerns charges at a state, not federal, level. DePape is being held without bail. He is being represented by public defender Adam Lipson.

A federal affidavit reveals graphic details about what unfolded inside the Pelosi house in the early morning hours of Oct. 28, 2022. It says Pelosi called 911 at 2:23 am to report a stranger inside his house. SFPD officers arrived at 2:31 am and encountered Pelosi and DePape inside the house, each with a hand on a hammer. “DEPAPE pulled the hammer from Pelosi’s hand and swung the hammer, striking Pelosi in the head. Officers immediately went inside and were able to restrain DEPAPE. While officers were restraining DEPAPE, Pelosi appeared to be unconscious on the ground.”

Pelosi spoke with SFPD officers while in the ambulance on his way to the hospital. He told officers he had never seen DePape before he woke him up and “stated he wanted to talk to ‘Nancy’.”

The affidavit describes an interview DePape gave SFPD: “DEPAPE stated that he was going to hold Nancy hostage and talk to her. If Nancy were to tell DEPAPE the ‘truth,’ he would let her go, and if she ‘lied,’ he was going to break ‘her kneecaps’…DEPAPE also later explained that by breaking Nancy’s kneecaps, she would then have to be wheeled into Congress, which would show other Members of Congress there were consequences to actions.” DePape says he broke into the house through a glass door by using a hammer. “DEPAPE had zip ties, tape, rope, and at least one hammer with him that morning. The evidence further shows that DEPAPE assaulted Mr. Pelosi with DEPAPE’s own hammer.”

The affidavit also mentions a witness who was working as a private security guard at a nearby house. The witness “saw an individual in all black, carrying a large black bag on his back, walking near the Pelosi residence” and soon after the witness “heard what sounded like banging on either a door or car and then heard the sirens within a minute or two.”

october 31, 2022

David DePape, the man suspected of attacking Paul Pelosi, is released from the hospital and booked into San Francisco jail. He suffered a dislocated shoulder during his arrest. He’s due in court for his first appearance Nov. 1.

The San Francisco District Attorney’s office half announces a dozen felony charges against DePape including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment, and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins says the six felony charges carry sentences of 13 years to life in prison. DePape also faces federal charges including assault on the immediate family member of a federal official, which carries a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. He was also charged with the attempted kidnapping of a federal official, which carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

october 29, 2022

Nancy Pelosi releases her first statement about the attack. In a post on Twitter, the House Speaker thanks people for their concern about her husband, Paul, saying “Thank you for your prayers for my husband and our family.” Paul Pelosi remains hospitalized.

SAN FRANCISCO — A fire injured a firefighter and displaced six late Sunday night in San Francisco, fire officials said Monday.

The 11:23 pm blaze broke out at a residence at 636 Moultrie St. just south of Courtland Ave. in the city’s Bernal Heights neighborhood.

The firefighter was taken to an emergency room for care and was released, according to the San Francisco Fire Department. They are expected to be OK. None of the residents were injured.

The fire was contained at 1:50 am The American Red Cross Northern California Coastal Region and the city are providing services to the displaced residents, according to the fire department’s Twitter account.

When a task force set out to draw lines for the new supervisory districts in 2002, a lot of us were worried. Willie Brown was mayor, and he would have significant influence on the task force. Bad lines could divide up communities, fracture alliances—and, like any gerrymandering, elect people who don’t represent the most vulnerable communities in the city.

But it was fine. The lines were pretty much what the city had put in place when the voters restored district elections. The task force tinkered around the edges to adjust for population, but nobody was unhappy.

The PVI shows the percentage of voters who tend toward progressive positions on key issues. Note that D5, D8, D9, and D10 have high concentrations of progressive voters. Mapping overlays by Michael Redmond

Ten years later, we worried again. Gavin Newsom was mayor; just a little bit of political influence could have made it harder to elect progressives. Again: It was fine.

As Sup. Aaron Peskin told me recently, since the return of district elections everyone has played by the book. They’ve kept the politics out of it, kept neighborhoods together, and made changes only around the margins.

Not this time.

The most recent district lines, which a sharply divided task force seems prepared to accept, would take the most progressive district in the city, which has elected two Green Party members and a Democratic Socialist, and blow it to bits.

It’s strange: District 5 has had very little population change, but the vast majority of the redistricting changes have happened there. “It’s makes me suspicious and I start to disturb the process,” Christin Evans, who owns a bookstore in the Haight and is part of the Haight Ashbury Merchants Association, told me.

The task force—by a 5-4 vote—decided March 25 to continue its work with a map known as 3B as a starting point. Another version, 3A, is pretty close to the current lines and doesn’t make any radical changes.

But 3B does.

Now, another new version, 4A, goes even further.

Take a look at the map here:

This is version 3B. Note how it chops up the progressive vote in the Haight.

Map Version 4, which shifts part of the Western Addition in to D2.

Map V4 with the PVI. It even further breaks up progressive voting communities.

Since the first version of district elections, in 1977, the Haight Ashbury neighborhood has been in an intact part of a district. Version 3B would split the Haight and the Western Addition, moving most of the Haight into district 1 or district 7, and moving the Tenderloin from D6 into D5.

Map 4A would shift part of the Western Addition into District 2, the most conservative district in the city.

Meanwhile, D6 would be made up largely of residents in the new condo buildings that we’ve seen in the past decade, meaning it’s going to be a much more conservative district.

So the progressives lose that one (or, if Matt Haney isn’t elected to state Assembly, get a representative who is moving hard to the Yimby side). District 4 moves west, meaning it will be almost impossible for a candidate like Gordon Mar to win. The progressive vote in D5 is scattered. D3 picks up more conservative areas on the edge of the Marina.

“This is,” Calvin Welch, a longtime neighborhood activist, told me, “a clear and direct attack on the progressive board majority.”

There are three meetings next week, April 2, 4, and 6. And there will be no doubt more versions.

But this process keeps coming up with maps that stray further and further from the old districts, for no apparent demographic reason.

I once said that it would be hard to draw 11 bad districts in San Francisco. I was wrong; the task force has done it.

You think the Mayor’s Office might be behind all of this?

EDWARDS, Colo. (KCNC) — A father and his son who worked in a utility room beneath a Beaver Creek Resort Hotel were injured Friday.

The Eagle River Fire Protection District reported that its crews responded at 2 p.m. to The Charter in Beaver Creek for two people injured.

These crews were escorted to two injured men near a gate to the parking garage beneath the hotel. Both men were taken to hospitals.

“A valve assembly in the engine room appears to have released a large amount of high-pressure water,” the fire department said in a press release. “The reporter was extremely disturbed.”

The force of the water pushed against a wall of cinder blocks, partially collapsing them.

Outside the parking garage, water turned to ice. As a result, Offerson Road was closed from Avondale Lane to Village Road, cutting vehicle access to and from the ski area behind the hotel in half.

Eagle County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Amber Barrett told CBS4 Monday the two are a father and son. The father suffered more serious injuries and was taken to an undisclosed Denver hospital, Barrett said. The son stayed at Vail Valley Medical Center.

The extent of her injuries and her health are unknown, she added.

Barrett called the incident a “serious accident.”

Barrett said the partially collapsed wall was unsustainable. For this reason, the emergency services decided that the hotel did not have to be evacuated.

Neither the fire department nor the spokesman for the sheriff’s office knew whether the two men were employed by the hotel to work on the water system.

CBS4 reached out to the hotel’s owners Monday night for a statement. This story will be updated with every reply.

For a decade, Americans have endured rising rents in cities with the best jobs. Some hoped the post-pandemic era would reverse this trend as people moved to the suburbs and worked from home. In fact, teleworking is more likely to exacerbate rather than alleviate the rental problem due to the demand for larger houses.

The pandemic was an economic disaster, but it offered a glimmer of hope for city dwellers who were being driven by sky-high rents. If only some of these high-quality workers could be persuaded to leave downtown, it was thought that places like San Francisco would become affordable to the masses again. And the pandemic trend towards home office seemed like one way to achieve that. American workers have become accustomed to the remote working lifestyle and also bring many productivity benefits with them.
