Local police did arrest a suspect following the gunfire, but there have as yet been no reports of injuries related to the incident, according to Tousi TV. Fox Business, however, reported that the Secret Service detained the suspect.

Fox Business also reported that the shooting suspect had allegedly broken windows in the vice president’s home with his gunfire.
While no name for the suspect and no potential motive have been released, the shooting occurred in the midst of controversy over the Trump administration’s successful strike in Venezuela, which enabled them to capture narcoterrorist dictator Nicolás Maduro and bring him back to the United States to face justice.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) reacted to the shooting by blaming Democrat rhetoric against Republicans and particularly against President Donald Trump and Vance. “But spare me the surprise. When politicians and media figures spend years calling their opponents fascists and dehumanize us, people take them seriously. The left’s violent rhetoric has consequences. This has to stop,” she posted on X.
President Trump was injured in 2024 at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania by Thomas Crooks, who took Corey Comperatore’s life.
