It was around 2am in San Francisco when a man broke in through the back door of Mrs Nancy Pelosi’s home. “Where is Nancy?” he reportedly shouted.
Unfortunately, her 82-year-old husband, Mr Paul Pelosi, was at home. He was attacked with a hammer. The altercation ended with Mr Pelosi requiring surgery on his skull and right arm.
