convey what was happening: 'Why are you here? What are you going to do to me?'

The San Francisco Police Department confirmed during a press conference on Friday evening that Paul Pelosi, husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was somehow able to call 911 before being attacked with a hammer, allowing dispatch to respond.

Police Chief William Scott said when officers arrived Paul Pelosi and the attacker were standing in the entryway to the home, each holding onto the hammer.

Confirmation that Paul Pelosi made a 911 call came after media reports said he had secretly called 911 so that the intruder would not know and spoke in a way that would alert the dispatcher to what was happening without giving himself away.

Sources told the Los Angeles Times Paul Pelosi told the intruder he needed to use the bathroom and called 911 after stepping away, leaving the line open. The Times reported dispatcher Heather Grimes overheard Paul Pelosi and the intruder talking and alerted police to the situation.

1. Smooth under pressure. And 82 yr old man holding a hammer wielding man half his age at bay

Paul Pelosi only got injured when the police yelled Drop the Hammer and only he obeyed.

9. I think until the police came, Pelosi actually had the hammer

Based on the report that the police came, “both had a hammer” and the intruder pulled it from Pelosi, put it to his head and began hitting him, presumably in front of police.

2. Incredible quick thinking on Paul Pelosi's part! It likely saved his life. n/t

[SheltieLover]

4. Absolutely!

This just makes me feel heartsick, Peggy.

I keep thinking of my dad at age 82, relatively frail & vulnerable.

3. Sounds like part of security training in place

and well executed, it will be interesting to hear the details.

Why are prominent important people in their 80s sleeping alone in their homes? I mean caregivers, security, peripheral alarms. Cost not a likely consideration.

5. Good question about lack of secirity.

6. I wonder if the Pelosi's have been given safety training for such attacks?

Especially after 1/6.

[Kaleva]

11. I don't think so. It's a bad idea to confront a home invader

The best thing to do is retreat to a designated safe room and call 911 from there.

[Irish_Dem]

17. Thanks, that makes sense.

Our Dem leaders need some serious security and safety training since it is open season on them.

[Kaleva]

13. Also, not sure if the Pelosis sought out training

[Irish_Dem]

18. The GOP tried to kill her on 1/6.

She should have arranged for some safety training.

[Kaleva]

19. I agree.

7. Thankfully Paul Pelosi had

his phone handy and was able to surreptitiously call 911!

Poor thing getting woken up in the early hours of the morning.. 2:30am and being attacked by a Domestic Terrorist looking to kill his Wife, Nancy Pelosi!

I've seen this done in some of the streaming shows I watch.. it works in Real Life, too!

8. Nancy may well have been killed yet again. The MAGATS have a blood lust. Hope FBI is ready. nt

[onecaliberal]

15. You mean the FBI that said there were no prior warnings about j6?

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Believe me, I am very skeptical about an FBI gone A-Wray and I think SS is a bunch of MAGATs.

That said, it's all we got, cuz most "law enforcement" is also heavily Repuke. Maybe I just hope against hope that the "blood in the streets" Lenigrad Lindsey likes to talk about will be largely prevented. I not and otherwise, we're on our own. And that wouldn't surprise me either.

10. Always stay familiar with the "sos" function on your phone

Most smart phones have one where you press a couple of buttons quickly and it will activate a 911 call.

12. i have heart problems ( afib) when i go out by myself i always have a loaded cellphone with me .

20. Dumb attacker letting him

use the bathroom.
