The White House is condemning the violent crash at the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco Monday that ended with police fatally shooting a man.
Unnamed driver who crashed car into consulate building was shot by police and later died in hospital
Police fatally shot the driver, but have not released any information on the driver’s identity or the circumstances of the shooting.
A U.S. official said Tuesday the government believes the driver who crashed into the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco the day before did so “with malign intent,” but police haven’t shared details about the driver’s identity or motive for what the Chinese government has branded a “violent attack.” The driver was bleeding from his head as he exited the vehicle yelling about the C.C.P., an abbreviation for the Chinese Communist Party, Sergii Molchanov said. San Francisco police arrived on scene and shot the driver, who died later in a hospital.
