The FBI announced they are looking for a man who they said used his car to ram the entrance gate to the organization’s Pittsburgh Field office.
The incident occurred at about 2:40 a.m., when a white sedan rammed into one of the vehicle entrance gates at FBI Pittsburgh, according to a post on the office’s Facebook page.
The man, who the FBI identified as Donald Henson of Penn Hills, then got out of the car, took an American flag out of the back seat and threw it onto the damaged gate. He then ran away.
The FBI said they are considering this a targeted attack against the organization. No one was injured as a result of the incident.
“Right now, he is wanted in connection with this crime against the FBI,” FBI Pittsburgh Assistant Special Agent In Charge Christopher Giordano said to KDKA. “It is a federal offense and we will be seeking prosecution to the fullest extent.”
Henson is believed to have a history of mental health issues and have been a member of the military.
Anyone who sees Henson should not approach him, but instead call 911, or the FBI at 800-CALL- FBI, or make a report online at tips.fbi.gov.
