WHITFIELD: Welcome back. One opened fire near the vice president's home in Delaware last night. So far the suspect or suspects are still at large. Vice president's private home is in Wilmington and often leaves the White House area or the vice presidential observatory address in D.C. for home on the weekends to Delaware. But he wasn't there at the time of this incident in Delaware. CNN's Erin McPike is at the White House now. So what is the Secret Service saying now about their investigation?</s>ERIN MCPIKE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Fredricka, first to clarify, yes, the Bidens were in Wilmington, delaware this weekend. They were just not at home when these shots were fired, but we have gotten some information from the Secret Service today. I want to read part of that statement to you that we have from spokesman Robert Hobach. He says -- "while the vice president and Dr. Biden were out for the evening, a vehicle drove by the vice president's residence at a high rate of speed and fired multiple gunshots. 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. Now as you said there was no motive. What they have found from searching the nearby residences is that no one was injured and there has been no damage, but of course the Secret Service and the Newcastle County police are taking this very seriously. They have learned that there were also shots fired at a nearby reservoir. So they're trying to figure out if those two are related and of course if it has anything to do with the vice president at all, but given that it was so close to his house, even though it was hundreds of yards outside and outside the security perimeter, they have to take this with a lot of caution, Fred.</s>WHITFIELD: All right. Keep us posted on that, Erin McPike, thanks so much. He's promising the middle class a new tax cut. But will the GOP- controlled Congress give it to the president? We'll preview the president's State of the Union speech, next.
