Gunshots fired outside VP Joe Biden's Delaware home

Multiple gunshots were fired from a speeding vehicle outside Vice
President Joe Biden's Delaware residence on Saturday evening, federal
law enforcement officials confirmed to CBS News.

A Secret Service spokesman told CBS News the Bidens were "out for the
evening" when the shooting occurred around 8:25 p.m., but were at their
Delaware residence for the weekend.

A law enforcement source told CBS News investigative correspondent Pat
Milton that the "several shots" fired are believed to have come from a
pistol.

A federal official said the shooting occurred on a public road outside
the established security perimeter. The vice president's private
residence is several hundred yards from the main road where the shots
were fired, which was outside the initial Secret Service guard post off
the main roadway.

Secret Service officials said their personnel on duty heard the shots.

The New York Times reports Secret Service and local police were unable
to catch the vehicle as it sped away.

Federal officials are working with the local authorities and don't know
if this was a random or targeted attack.

After the incident, a man was arrested for "resisting arrest" when he
passed by an officer securing the outer perimeter area.

Investigators are combing the residents for evidence.
