Search underway for man accused of “act of terror” at FBI Pittsburgh field office after car rams into entrance gate

A search is underway for a man accused of using his car to ram the entrance gate to the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field office.
The FBI says they’re searching for Donald Henson, of Penn Hills, who they say used his car to ram the gate to the building around 2:40 a.m. on Wednesday.
FBI Pittsburgh Assistant Special Agent In Charge Christopher Giordano said that after crashing into the gate, Henson grabbed an American flag from inside the vehicle and threw it over the gate.
“We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI,” Giordano said. “This was a targeted attack on this building.”
No one was injured during the incident.

Henson left the area on foot after crashing into the gate and has yet to be apprehended, Giordano said.
The car appeared to have some sort of message written on one of its side windows, which Giordano said investigators are still looking into.
The FBI says they’re bringing in a bomb squad to clear the car.
Anyone with information about Hanson’s whereabouts is asked to call 911.
There’s no indication that Hanson is armed, but the FBI says he is believed to have a history of mental health issues.
