Shots fired outside US Vice President's home
The US Secret Service said Sunday that multiple gunshots were fired from a vehicle near the Delaware home of Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday night. The vice president and his wife were not at home at the time of the shooting, authorities said.
The home is several hundred yards (meters) from the main road where the shots rang out, and authorities were searching outside the Biden residence and nearby houses to determine if any rounds hit anything.
Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback said the shots were fired around 8:25 p.m. on a public road outside the secure perimeter near the home in Wilmington, Delaware.
The shots were heard by Secret Service personnel, who saw the vehicle drive past the home at a high rate of speed and flee the scene.
