Gun shots rang out from a passing vehicle near U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden’s residence in Delaware on Saturday night, but the Vice-President and his wife were not at home, the U.S. Secret Service said on Sunday.
The shots were fired on a public road several hundred yards from the house, outside a security perimeter, at about 8:25 p.m. EST (0125 GMT). Secret Service personnel at the residence heard the reports and saw the vehicle speeding away.
About half an hour after the shooting, local police arrested an individual in a vehicle that attempted to pass an officer who was securing the area. The individual is not currently tied to the incident but the Secret Service said the person would be questioned about the shooting.
