A suspect is in custody after being accused of committing a "targeted attack" by allegedly using his car to ram the entrance gate to the FBI's Pittsburgh Field office.

The FBI says Donald Henson, of Penn Hills , who they say used his car to ram the gate to the building around 2:40 a.m. on Wednesday, is in custody.

FBI Pittsburgh Assistant Special Agent in Charge Christopher Giordano said early Wednesday that after crashing into the gate, Henson grabbed an American flag from inside the vehicle and threw it over the gate.

"We look at this as an act of terror against the FBI," Giordano said. "This was a targeted attack on this building." The FBI has since backed away from calling the incident an "act of terror."

No one was reported injured at the time of the crash, according to the FBI.
