PITTSBURGH — The local FBI field office in Pittsburgh has identified Penn Hills resident Donald Henson as the suspect who rammed into the gate of the compound at 2:40 a.m. on Wednesday, accelerating right before the crash.
Bradford Arick, the spokesman for the field office, told the New York Times that the suspect draped an American flag on the gate before fleeing on foot. The incident is believed to be a targeted attack.

Henson, whose unconfirmed Facebook page showed him playing a horn, was allegedly the only person in the vehicle. He fled on foot, Arick said.
The field office released a statement Wednesday morning saying, “At approximately 2:40 a.m., an individual driving a white sedan proceeded to ram one of the vehicle entrance gates at FBI Pittsburgh. 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.”
This incident is considered a targeted attack against the FBI. No FBI personnel were injured.”
