San Francisco police are correcting the notion that there was a third person in Pelosi's home at the

time of the break-in. (sorry, but source is Washington Examiner) Here are the early reports that caused the confusion:

"After San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott offered details on the incident on Friday, Politico reported that when officers arrived at the house, they "knocked on the front door and were let inside by an unknown person." This led to speculation on social media that there may have been a third party.

Tom Winter, NBC News correspondent for investigations, also reported on Sunday that San Francisco Police told his news outlet that Pelosi and DePape did not know each other prior to the assault. This comes after the disclosure of a police audio clip, following a 911 call in which Paul Pelosi spoke in code, in which the dispatcher told a police car that a caller "stated that he does not know who the man is but said that his name is David and that he is a friend."

Still somewhat confusing, but the "he is a friend" statement (if accurate) may allude to the "code" that's referred to -- an attempt to calm down a crazy nut that's just broken into the house armed with a hammer.
