Pennsylvania man sought after ramming car into fence at FBI office in Pittsburgh, official says

Donald Henson, believed to have military background and mental health issues, fled after ramming the FBI Pittsburgh gate; no injuries reported and a bomb squad investigated the vehicle.

  • Donald Henson, a man from Penn Hills, allegedly drove his vehicle into the entrance barrier of the FBI's field office in Pittsburgh in the early hours of Wednesday, around 2:40 a.m.
  • The FBI described the incident as a targeted attack and an act of terror due to Henson's history and the nature of his actions, including throwing an American flag over the gate.
  • After crashing, Henson fled on foot, leaving a white Toyota with a message scribbled on a window, prompting a bomb squad to investigate the vehicle while agents conducted a manhunt.
  • FBI Assistant Special Agent Christopher Giordano characterized the incident as a deliberate attack on the bureau and emphasized that authorities will pursue legal action to the maximum extent possible.
  • No injuries were reported, but authorities consider Henson dangerous due to mental health issues and appealed to the public to report any sighting of him immediately.
