The suspect who broke into Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' home this week did so during a shift change in security and was specifically targeting Bass, according to District Attorney George Gascon.
Gascón clarified on Tuesday that prosecutors believe Hunter was specifically targeting Bass, who was home at the time with her daughter, son-in-law and grandchild.
"We believe that he was targeting the mayor, but this is an ongoing investigation," Gascón said, adding that "there were actions while he was inside the property that are consistent with the fact that he knew this was the Mayor's home, and that he was looking for her."
