Shots fired outside Joe Biden's Delaware home

Someone fired several gunshots Saturday night from a vehicle passing by Vice President Joe Biden's Delaware home, the Secret Service revealed Sunday.

The Biden family was not home at the time.

The shots were fired around 8:25 p.m. from a public road about 300 yards outside a secure perimeter to the Biden residence. It's as yet uncertain if the shots were fired at the home and, if so, whether any struck the building.
