>> WILSON, THANK YOU. A MAJOR INVESTIGATION IS HAPPENING NOW INTO THE SUSPECT AND HIS POTENTIAL MOTIVE. WE ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MAN WHO IS A PRO NUDITY ACTIVISTS IN SAN FRANCISCO'S CASTRO WHO WHO WAS RECENTLY CAUGHT UP IN A WORLD OF CONSPIRACY THEORIES. KENNY CHOI JOINS US WITH WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HIM. KENNY? >> Reporter: JULIETTE, WE JUST HEARD FROM THE POLICE CHIEF THAT THERE STILL IS NO CLEAR MOTIVE IN THIS CASE, BUT HE DID EMPHASIZE THAT THE ATTACK WAS NOT RANDOM. WE ARE ALSO GETTING A CLEARER PICTURE OF WHO HE WAS, DAVID WAYNE DEPAPE, FROM HIS ON MY POST. 42-YEAR-OLD DAVID DEPAPE GREW UP IN BRITISH COLUMBIA CAME TO CALIFORNIA FOR LOVE. HIS STEPFATHER SAYS HE HASN'T SEEN HIS STEPSON IN NEARLY 2 DECADES, BUT THAT IS A CHILD, HE WAS QUIET AND NEVER VIOLENCE. >> WE DO KNOW THAT AT THE POINT AT WHICH THE POLICE ARRIVED, HE DID TURN AND USE THAT HAMMER AGAINST THE SPEAKER'S HUSBAND IN A MANNER THAT APPEARED THAT HE WAS INTENDING TO KILL HIM. >> Reporter: IN SAN FRANCISCO'S CASTRO DISTRICT, HE WAS KNOWN LOCALLY AS A PRO NUDITY ACTIVISTS. >> I WAS SURPRISED HE ENTERED THE SPEAKER'S HOME. THAT'S REALLY JARRING. IT'S NOT WHAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED. I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE THAT WANTED TO DO HARM TO THE SPEAKER. THAT'S NOT SHOCKING TO ME AT ALL. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO WANT TO DO HARM. >> Reporter: BEFORE HIS ARREST EARLY MORNING INSIDE THE PELOSI HOME, ON MY POST OBTAINED BY CNN SUGGEST A MAN OBSESSED WITH CONSPIRACY HEALING TO MENTAL VIDEOS BY MIKE LINDELL FALSELY CLAIMING THE 2020 ELECTION WAS STOLEN. THESE POSTS STAND IN TARK STARK CONTRAST , FESTOONED WITH SIGNS PROMOTING BLACK LIVES MATTER AND PIECE. ASSIGN TEXT TO THE FENCE TOLD REPORTERS TO STAY AWAY. >> Reporter: THERE HAVE BEEN CONFLICTING REPORTS ABOUT WHETHER DEPAPE HAS BEEN BOOKED INTO JAIL. YOU HEARD FROM SAN FRANCISCO POLICE CHIEF CONFIRMING HE IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL, THAT THE SUSPECT, DEPAPE , IS STILL IN THE HOSPITAL. WE DID CHECK THE SHERIFF'S WEBSITE. HE IS OFFICIALLY BEEN BOOKED , BUT AGAIN, SHE'S SCOTT SAYING THAT THAT CAN BE DONE IN ABSENTIA. JULIETTE, BACK TO YOU. >> WE SHOULD NOTE, I'M OUTSIDE OF THE HOSPITAL WHERE PAUL PELOSI IS. HE IS OUT OF SURGERY. HE IS RECOVERING . HE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY. AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, A LOT OF REACTION COMING INTO THE ATTACK WITH LAWMAKERS FROM BOTH SPEAKING OUT. THE WHITE HOUSE SAYS PRESIDENT BIDEN CALLED SPEAKER PELOSI TO OFFER HIS SUPPORT AND SAID HE CONDEMNS ALL VIOLENCE . CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM ALSO CONDEMNED THE VIOLENT ATTACK TWEETING , THE HEINOUS ASSAULT ON PAUL PELOSI IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE DANGEROUS CONSEQUENCES OF THE DIVISIVE AND HATEFUL RHETORIC PUTTING LIVES AT RISK AND UNDERMINING OUR VERY DEMOCRACY AND DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS . THOSE WHO USE THEIR PLATFORMS TO INCITE VIOLENCE MUST BE HELD TO ACCOUNT. HOUSE MINORITY LEADER KEVIN McCARTHY ALSO COMMENTED ON THE ATTACK . A SPOKESPERSON SAYS McCARTHY REACHED OUT TO THE SPEAKER AND A D CHECK IN
