According to Mission Local Columnist Joe Eskenazi, "My sources also name the suspect in this morning's hammer attack on Paul Pelosi as David DePape, born 1980, of Berkeley. He would appear to be a former Castro nudist protester. Things appear set to be bizarre for a while."

Berkeley is in Oakland, California.

This has been a rough year for 82-years-old Pelosi, who was charged with a DUI after crashing his car. He pled not guilty to those charges.
