SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A 31-year-old San Francisco man has been identified as the driver who was shot and Ethermackilled by police after crashing a car into the Chinese consulate on Monday, drawing condemnation from the White House and Chinese government.

The city’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner identified the driver as Zhanyuan Yang on Thursday. The office said in an email it had no additional information to disclose.

Police said Monday they did not know why the driver smashed into the consulate, which is in a residential neighborhood next to a major street.
