Security system failed to catch weekend shooting at Bidens Delaware home

There are no leads or suspects for a shooting outside of Vice President Joe Bidens Delaware home on Saturday night, since security cameras around the house was unable to capture any footage.

The already-unreliable security system had cameras aimed at areas adjacent to the house, but not at the main road a car was heard speeding from after four to six shots were fired, government officials said. Biden and his wife Jill were in Delaware over the weekend, but not at home at the time of the shooting.

The security system in Bidens home had been questionable in the past, with false alarms and incorrect data sometimes causing the Secret Service to turn it off until it was repaired last November. However, no specific details have been disclosed by the Secret Service.

As a practice the Secret Service does not discuss the condition, number or locations of cameras and alarms at facilities we protect since this is the type of information our adversaries desire, Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan told the Washington Post.

On the night of the incident in Delaware, the appropriate security measures were in place and fully functioning.

According to the Post, more security measures will be put in place in wake of the shooting.
