After crashing, Henson exited the vehicle, placed an american flag on the gate, and fled on foot. No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n<p>Henson had visited the FBI office a few weeks prior to file a confusing complaint,which the FBI found did not warrant federal charges. the FBI stated he is highly likely unarmed but may have a history of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >mental health issues<\/a>. The vehicle had some unclear, possibly suicide-related, vulgar writing on it. Witnesses described hearing screeching tires and seeing Henson leave calmly after placing the flag. The FBI is actively pursuing him and intends to prosecute fully for the federal offense.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Authorities are looking for a man who allegedly drove his vehicle into the security gate at the entrance to the FBI&rsquo;s Pittsburgh field office early Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Henson of Penn Hills is being sought in connection with the 2:40 a.m. incident, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pittsburgh\/news\/fbi-pittsburgh-vehicle-slams-into-gate-entrance-investigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI,&rdquo; FBI Pittsburgh Assistant Special Agent In Charge Christopher Giordano said. &ldquo;This was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/secy-pompeo-calls-for-release-of-chinese-citizen-journalist\/\" title=\"Secy.
