Thankfully no one was home at the time. Let's hope they're caught quickly.

Delaware shooting occurs near unoccupied Biden home:

On Saturday night a vehicle drove near Vice President Joe Biden's residence in Delaware and fired multiple gun shots, but the vice president and his wife, Jill, were not home at the time, Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback told CNN.

The incident occurred around 8:25 p.m.

"A vehicle drove by the vice president's residence at a high rate of speed and fired multiple gun shots. This occurred on a public road outside the established security perimeter. The shots were heard by Secret Service personnel posted at the residence and a vehicle was observed by an agent leaving the scene at a high rate of speed," Hoback said.

The vice president was expected to spend the weekend in Delaware.

Thorough searches will be conducted on the outside of Biden's residence and nearby residences to see if any rounds hit any structure, a Secret Service official separately told CNN. The vice president's residence is several hundred yards away from the main road from where the shots were fired.
