FBI office in Pittsburgh houses suspect linked to targeted incidence, authorities confirm

In an unusual incident that occurred at around 2:40 a.m. on Wednesday, a suspect identified as Donald Henson from Penn Hills, east of Pittsburgh, drove his white Toyota Corolla into the vehicle entrance gate of the FBI Pittsburgh office. The incident is being treated as a targeted attack against the FBI.

Images from the scene show the white Toyota Corolla that rammed into a metal fence, causing significant damage to the gate. As the vehicle crashed, Henson grabbed an American flag from his car and threw it over the damaged gate before fleeing on foot.

A message is written on the side of the car, which is being examined by a bomb squad. However, no further details about the nature of the message have been released.

The FBI Pittsburgh office is not reporting any injuries related to the incident. The suspect, Henson, was unarmed, according to the FBI.

Despite the incident, the FBI is not currently considering Henson's actions as part of a larger plot. The suspect has a documented history of mental health issues, but no specific charges have been announced against him.

The FBI Pittsburgh head considers the act as terrorism, but it is unlikely that Henson will be charged with terrorism. The incident is still under investigation, and no further background information about Henson was provided in the sources.

The suspect is not in custody, as he was arrested prior to the stated facts. The FBI is urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
