A driver rammed a car into an FBI security gate at the Pittsburgh bureau office on Wednesday morning in what the agency said is a “targeted attack” that may be an “act of terror” against the bureau, it said.

In a statement on X, the FBI Pittsburgh office said the individual hit the gate at around 2:40 a.m. local time, exited the vehicle, and then removed an “American flag from the backseat” before throwing the flag on the damaged gate.
