A adult male rammed his gondola into the spellbind logic gate of the FBI’s Pittsburgh power early Wednesday in what officials are treating as an "act of terror".
The FBI said the incident occurred at around 2:40 am when a white sedan crashed into one of the vehicle gates at the facility. “This individual exited the vehicle, removed an American flag from the backseat, and threw it onto the damaged gate. The individual then left the scene on foot,” FBI Pittsburgh stated in a post on X.
The driver who fled the scene was identified as Donald Henson, a resident of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania. No FBI personnel were injured during the incident. Authorities have launched an extensive manhunt to locate Henson, who remains at large.
The probe team has indicated that Henson does not appear to be armed, but the officials said that he has a documented history of mental health issues, the NY Post reported.
“This incident is considered a targeted attack against the FBI,” the agency said.
“We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI,” FBI Pittsburgh assistant special agent in charge Christopher Giordano told CBS News.
According to NY Post, a bomb squad was called to search the white Toyota outside the FBI’s office after it was rammed into the facility’s gate. Law enforcement agencies are urging anyone who encounters him to avoid confrontation and immediately contact authorities.
Nakeisha Brown, who works nearby, told WTAE she heard screeching tires and saw the suspect yelling before leaving the scene.
