Shots fired at vice-president Joe Biden’s Delaware home
- Secret Service says multiple shots fired from vehicle at house
- Biden and wife Dr Jill Biden were away at the time
Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback said the shots were fired at around 8.25pm on a public road outside the secure perimeter near the home in Greenville, 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.
The Secret Service said about 30 minutes later, an individual in a vehicle tried to pass a New Castle County police officer who was securing the outer perimeter of the area. That person was arrested for resisting arrest and will be questioned regarding the shooting to determine if he was involved.
Biden’s home is several hundred yards from the main road, from where the shots were fired. Authorities were searching outside the Biden residence and nearby homes to determine if any rounds struck the home.
Hoback said the incident is under investigation by the Secret Service and the New Castle County Police.
Biden’s office said the vice president and his wife, Jill Biden, were briefed Saturday night. The office referred all other questions to the Secret Service.
Hello Joe Biden,
Welcome to the world you helped to create.
In Pittsburgh PA, Cleveland OH, Detroit MI, and thousands of other cities in the USA, homes are shot at by Africans every day and night.
The good part is that Africans are terrible shots. They don’t seem to know what the gun sights are for.
Here’s my advice: keep a rifle near at hand, and when they start shooting at your house, shoot back at their car. Aim for the open windows that the Africans are shooting out of. A rifle bullet in their face should help the problem.
Thank you for letting me rant,
