was stolen and mocking the january 6th riot at the capitol. >> the suspect violently assaulted mr. pelosi with the hammer. our officers immediately tackled him, disarmed him, and rendered medical aid. the motive is still being determined. >> the san francisco district attorney is expected to file multiple charges against him including attempted murder, burglary, and elder abuse. that suspect is no stranger to bay area politicians, having run ins with several over the years, including scott weiner. betty yu is live at speaker pelosi's house with more. >> reporter: just to give an idea of how things look at here at this hour, as you can see over my shoulder, there's a police cruiser parked right outside the pelosi home.

tonight we're learning much more about the suspect arrested in this violent attack. >> heartbroken. i've known paul for a long time. i was actually this past sunday at an event with him sitting next to each other having a nice conversation. he's just a lovely, wonderful person, and to just imagine the terror. >> reporter: state senator scott weiner says this is the direct result of toxic right wing rhetoric and incitement against the speaker and so many others. >> i get regular death threats and speaker pelosi gets even more. >> reporter: david depape was known as a pro-nudity acvist. b protests against public nudity legislation we did in san francisco about a year ago. he was connected to a woman who

was a very, very scary person. >> reporter: gypsy is the woman seen in this video documents her protest against the ban on public nudity in 2013. weiner was a city supervisor at the time. the police chief bill scott was visibly upset in friday's press conference. >> our elected officials are here to do the business of their cities, counties, states, and this nation. their families don't sign up to be harmed. it is wrong. and everybody should be disgusted about what happened this morning. >> reporter: patrick cone often walks his dog in pelosi's neighborhood. >> this is obviously a targeted attack, and whether you do or don't agree with her politics, there's no room for any of this in our society or city or in

this country. >> we communicated a few days ago and talked about getting together. it's unfortunate, but i hear he's doing better and will make a full recovery, and i wish him a speedy recovery. >> reporter: betty, this is a question i think on a lot of people's minds in the newsroom. how did this happen. did the neighbors give a sense of what the security is like at the pelosi's house usually? >> reporter: well, neighbors tell me that when the speaker is in town, there's visibly more security around including secret service agents, but she's not in town often. so this is why we didn't, we, you know, didn't see a lot of security prior to this event. >> you have to imagine that security will be stepped up there now and at a lot of houses because of this. thank you for that report. we spoke

to a former fbi agent about the security political figures like pelosi usually have, and why something like this probably shouldn't have happened. >> it really doesn't matter if it's a gated community, fortress, whatever it might be, there's always, in a situation with a dignitary, there's always an advanced team that goes to the house, do a survey of the house, and they look at security deficiencies. they do that, they make recommendations about how to fission them, and that's before they even would have the dignitary in the house. >> you can imagine more cameras added probably. and this has made national headlines. politicians from both sides of the aisle, republicans and democrats nationally and locally, having reacting to the news. >> this is despicable. there's no place in america. there's

too much violence, political violence. too much hatred. enough is enough is enough. >> even one of speaker pelosi's chief rivals in the house, ned count.sure 20 stay up to d latest on this story streaming 24/7 on cbs news bay area and on our website. still ahead tonight, police say a beloved dentist was killed in a murder for hire plot organized by her own boyfriend who was found dead in his jail cell after he was area ever arrested. and remembering the life and career of one of the most influential american musicians of the last century. plus, the 49ers go for the regular season sweep of the defending super bowl champs this sunday. the latest injury

initial look at the video. >> the doctor was gunned down in august on the way to a massage appointment. the crime caught on camera shocked the community and led to a public outcry about hate crimes targeting asian-americans. >> this is not a hate crime, this is a set up. >> the man helped police by turning over the surveillance video they say helped them crash the case. a man shot the doctor three times, all in five seconds. simon told investigators, the gunman never demanded or gave her time to hand over money. >> no warning, just push her to the ground and go. >> her boyfriend, who was driving the car when she was killed, was untouched? this is not a case about race. this is a case about greed. my hope is
