Driver Crashes Car Into F.B.I. Field Office Gate in Pittsburgh

A driver crashed a car into the entrance gate of an F.B.I. field office in Pittsburgh early Wednesday and fled on foot in what officials said they believed was a targeted act.

The F.B.I. was looking for a suspect, who was identified as Donald Henson of Penn Hills, a suburb of Pittsburgh, according to Bradford Arick, the spokesman for the field office.

The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle, a white sedan, and there were no injuries, Mr. Arick said. The driver rammed the car into the gate of the compound at 2:45 a.m., walked out of the vehicle, draped an American flag over the gate and then fled, Mr. Arick added.

The Pittsburgh Police assisted in responding to the crash, and the F.B.I. was leading the investigation into the incident, said Eliza Durham, a spokeswoman for the city of Pittsburgh’s Public Safety Department.
